In other words, less restrictions on the auto industry (=more gigantic monstrosities on the road), harder to file injury lawsuits, terror and F*$!ing chaos descending upon humanity, you know how it is these days. The conservatives run the other two branches of govt and the court is the last thing standing between us and the invading nazi hordes.

If you wanna do something quick and easy to help just go to pfaw.org and follow the links to petitions and most importantly call you senators (not congresspeople). We gotta make sure we don't get another Scalia or Thomas.

Sorry about the overtly political message but this is too important.

So if one person leaving the judicial branch can create that much chaos, then one person -- namely yourself -- can reverse it. What's your plan?
