1. The President selects Supreme Court Justice nominees. Then they have to be approved by the Senate. But nobody else picks them.
2. The President being a liar doesn't mean that he's lies indiscriminantly. He just lies when it suits him, which happens to be often. And he doesn't need to lie to the Christian Right (moral majority is misleading in at least two ways, see if you can guess what they are!) because they are his base, they will always be voting for him and not Democrats.
3. Oregon did go blue, but passed a gay marriage ban because of the state's odd mixture of civil libertarian values, conservative social mores, and strong conservationist tendencies. I don't know what you are smoking, but Illinois did not ever pass a gay marriage ban, and I'll bet my life savings that it never will.
