Yes, this I totally agree with. Of course, I believe our personal rights/freedoms are fluid things that change on a regular basis, often in minor and unnoticed ways. We have reached a point where the granting of freedom for one may actually infringe on someone else's freedom. It is a difficult call.
The other thing to remember of the 3 members of the court who are real possibles to be replaced (assuming resignation and not an untimely death), two are conservative and one is liberal. The current make up of the court being what it is, this means that a major swing is likely. Justices have a way of turning out not as those nominated them expect too. Our history is littered with appointments who ended up making those who appointed them unhappy.
Another interesting note from the poll off of Primetime Live last night is that Republicans are more sexually happy than Democrates and I think more likely to watch porn but I will have to try to find confirmation of that last bit as I am not completely sure I remember hearing it. My mind might be adding things I want to believe.
This does not mean I am not concerned about this issue, however. More that I think we are still a ways from being in trouble over it.
