Here is the main problem with that. If you don't want to end up living in a plutocracy or worse a plutarchy, it would be wise to hold your nose and vote for Obama like I am going to do.

The SCOTUS is by far the strongest branch of government out there since the Marbury v. Madison case was decided in 1803?. The next President will be appointing several new justices.

The Citizens United decision is enough to make me quake in my boots. If we get a few more hard right judges the 1% will control this country lock,stock and barrel. They will just buy the justices off like they have Thomas and Alito. Any time a bill is passed in Congress and is signed into law by the President if the 1% does not like it they will simply bring a case like FEC v. Citizens United and the court will fabricate some BS theory on the case and rule on it the way they are expected to. FEC v. Citizens United had nothing to do with making corporations people and equating money with free speech.

Romney has stated he will use Robert Bork to choose his potential SCOTUS appointments. Of course he flip flops more than a fish out of water.

Huntsman I might consider. But there is this thing I hear about snowballs and hell.

Cain I would vote for. He would probably appoint the Pointer sisters to the court as soon as he figures out what the SCOTUS actually is.
