Nope, doesn't seem fair at all, but the buck has to stop somewhere right?
That's why it's so important to know what's happening with the supreme court
during election years: will any positions open up during the next
presidency? what kind of people would either candidate place in the court?
These people literaly decide how citizens of the U.S. will live.
Example: a pro-life voter might not want to vote for a pro-choice president
if he/she will have the opportunity to place someone in the Supreme Court.
However, if the previous president has already filled all available slots
with pro-choice judges, it could be decades before another slot opens up.
