The Supreme Court and the Next President -... →
Four of the nine members are very conservative, three of them under 64. If the president is a Republican and has the chance to fill Justice Ginsburg’s seat, that could turn the court decidedly conservative for decades. If President Obama is re-elected and has the chance to fill Justice Scalia’s seat, that could turn the court into a more moderate one.

flirtation
the best thing about it is the suggestion without responsibility. it’s all the fun. how often do you want the reality of the result of that flirtation? maybe for a moment. but a prolonged exchange is always sexy.
