GOP's Future Riding on Defeating Obama's Supreme Court Nomination

I have been a registered Republican since I turned 18, a long, long time ago.That will change if Senate Republicans do not defeat President Obama's nomination to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died over the weekend.If the Republicans do not defeat his nominee, I will be a registered "Independent" before the sun goes down.President Obama is not willing or capable of nominating anyone remotely close to being a centrist or a strict constructionist. He is a hardcore leftist and will make every effort to strong-arm his kind of radical justice to tip the balance of the Court.Furthermore, you can place a bet on this: before this year is over (perhaps soon), Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will retire. And then President Obama will nominate a much younger person, who could be a fixture on the court for 30 or 40 years, to replace her. He will not leave it to chance for a potential Republican successor to the White House to nominate someone who isn't cut out of the same ACLU mold as Justice Ginsburg.And if you do the right thing, GOP Senators, and defeat Obama's nomination, then do it again and defeat his subsequent nominee(s).GOP, you are fighting for your life here. Do the right thing. I doubt that I am the only longtime Republican who will throw in the towel on you if you do not take a strong stand and defeat the wrong kind of nominees to the Supreme Court.
