Imagining America if George Bush Chose the Supreme Court

A number of Supreme Court judges have been delaying retirement in the hope that Bush will be defeated. If he wins, he will have the opportunity to stack the court (I mean even more than it is stacked today). The implications are scary...
"Abortion might be a crime in most states. Gay people could be thrown in prison for having sex in their homes. States might be free to become mini-theocracies, endorsing Christianity and using tax money to help spread the gospel. The Constitution might no longer protect inmates from being brutalized by prison guards. Family and medical leave and environmental protections could disappear."
