The Three Branches

If the Democrats loose big time in November (as I think they will), the White House will go to Mitt Romney. Both Houses will fall to the to the Tea Party. And with the Supreme Court leaning Republican and at least one Democratic appointee likely to retire in the next 4 years, the Supreme Court will be 6 to 3 constructionist / Republican oriented.

With what appears to be increasing use of legal challenges to legislation by the right, the composition of the Supreme Court is now perhaps the most important determinant of the country's future direction.
