I don't think it was a necessary thing at all. Just his waste of human life...If you are talking specifically about the Supreme Court, they(conservative members of the court) have the votes to do what they choose to do. Lets see what they do when they don't have an Presidential election involved. Like next year. We will see what they do.

yes, i was talking about the supreme court. not sure why you mentioned the war, as i've said more than once that i thought it was a mistake to go back in there. bush completely misunderstood, or chose to ignore, the realities of the situation regarding iraq and iran.
but now we have finally made inroads in that war, and looks as tho we will begin pulling out soon. and that's due to the surge petraus asked for, and that mccain supported-that support at the time had everyone saying mccain was dead in the water as a candidate.
thing is, if you're going to fight a war-and bush is an idiot in that he got us in something we shouldn't have got into, and then he half-assed it--then you have to go all in from the get go. it really has been put on the back burner lately it seems, with dems pretty much ignoring it ever since the tide turned over there.
maybe we can get out of iraq, and turn more of our attention to afganistan, and getting out of it as well.
but iran...that's the issue now, and it's bushes fault it has become one.
also, as for the supreme court....their ruling on the 2nd amendment regarding gun laws was great. as long as they go by the constitution, i think we'll be fine. they didn't get on the court by being stupid.
as for roe v wade..i don't see it getting overturned, and i don't think it should be. i think it's a shame that so many get hooked on just that one issue. i don't think it should be the one deciding factor on who to vote for. imo there are far bigger issues.
