It won't be too long before we find out how the Court decides. But if the polls don't change a whole lot in Mitt Romney's favor--forget about Santorum or Gingrich, they're so far behind Obama it's not reasonable that they could ever catch up--then Obama will very likely appoint at least one more Supreme Court justice, if not two or three. Then it will be interesting to hear the arguments that the nominees may be "activist judges".

The sad thing about that possible outcome is that by contributing to a broken government for several years, then conducting maybe the most self-destructive presidential primary in memory, the GOP did it to themselves.
