Yes, but the effect of his/her Supreme Court appointments can outlast the President's term of office by decades! I agree with Catspaw, of course, that the Congress must also reflect our concerns, so vote accordingly. We won on Borg, but weren't able to stop Thomas! Remember being told that Thomas was named because he was "the best man for the job," and that "race" had nothing to do with it? Do you believe that now? Did you believe that then? Do you think that someone may have prevaricated a bit?
