Supreme Court has a long history of reversing itself. Anybody recall the rulings related to slavery or Indians or property rights ? If Obama wins again (likely) we are going to eventually get some interesting reversals as the make up of the Supremes changes.
Settled or not, things are subject to change, but I suppose not soon enough to matter much to those of us alive today.

yeah, but with me being 30, i have much respect for my grand parents who fought against slavery and segregation, we won't be remembered as what we do as individuals but as what we do as a generation, Germany is a great example, not to start goodwins law again, but seriously, not all Germans of that era were nazi's supporters, they were just by-standers to the tragedy of their generation, but judged no less harshly by history as the rest.a silent voice against injustice is no voice at all.
let's hope that is not the case for us and our current trends, lets hope we do not need to fall to as a low before we realize the path we are on.
let's hope we can swap out some judges with someone who is good and just. not someone who is going to garner and vie for political attention or favour.
all of that said, why can't we get some grass roots going on? everyone thinks both parties are **** anyways,i mean really do you guys like your party? or are you mostly voting for them because you hate the other guy less? And the most viable grass roots party is basically the OWS of politics (tea baggers) i.e. good ideas in theory, but not organized enough, too radicalized on their core principles ,much like current parties, and just a general sense of not being able to get the job done.
i just hope people smarten up and don't let this sort of thing happen in the first place, as now it'll probably be a few years before we can even get to the point of having a real discussion about removing these ****ing cameras .
edit: also thanks for putting a positive spin on things, with all of my ranting and raving it's refreshing to have a bit of light in here.
