I must acknowledge that the following is provided by Jim Piper, who I must thank tremendously for bringing this information to my attention and has allowed me to present it here.
Columnist Andrew McCarthy gives us what probably is the most important question regarding the upcoming presidential election.
If Mitt wins the nomination, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I would just ask you to keep four things in mind:
- Justice Scalia just turned 78
- Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
- Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
- Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
After you have stopped gasping, kindly send this forward to your list of concerned citizens.
