As many of you know I am not one to buy in to the whole media conspiracy theory but sometimes I do see stories that make me wonder.
An article up today on Yahoo paints a quasi horrified picture of the US Supreme Court should Mitt Romney wins the Presidency.
Now you certainly cannot deny that there is a good chance that the next President will appoint one or more justices and depending on who they are the direction of the court could be shifted.
But in reading the article I don’t see any analysis about how President Obama could also have a major impact on the Court and certainly not with the muted “how horrible it would be” tone.
This reminds me of a story I saw this morning on CNN where the commentators were discussing Chief Justice Roberts and whether he would continue to try and shape the image of the court (as many suggest he did with the health care ruling).
One of the reporters said, in tones similar to saying a person liked to kick puppies, “Well remember he is… a conservative”.
Again nobody seemed upset that people on the court are liberals.
