Columnist Andrew McCarthy and why you should vote

Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important
question regarding the upcoming presidential election.



If Mitt wins the nomination, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy.
For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I’d just ask you to keep
four things in mind:


1. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.



In addition, Justice Ginsburg has Pancreatic Cancer. Justice Stephens has
already said he would retire and is just waiting for Obama to be reelected.
The next president could appoint as many as 4 new Justices over next 8
years. This election is about more than ObamaCare Tax.



We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we
elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least
one new member of the Supreme Court, in addition to hundreds of other
life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions
about our lives for decades to come.



If you don’t think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt
Romney or Barack Obama, I think you’re smokin’ something funky.


So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn’t
get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win, imagine this:
