I'm sure most of you have heard or seen this from the second debate.
   Another example would be the Dred Scott case, which is where judges, years ago, said that the Constitution allowed slavery because of personal property rights.

    That's a personal opinion. That's not what the Constitution says. The Constitution of the United States says we're all--you know, it doesn't say that. It doesn't speak to the equality of America.

    And so, I would pick people that would be strict constructionists. We've got plenty of lawmakers in Washington, D.C. Legislators make law; judges interpret the Constitution.

    And I suspect one of us will have a pick at the end of next year--the next four years. And that's the kind of judge I'm going to put on there. No litmus test except for how they interpret the Constitution.

Other than the way he rambles rather incoherently through this Bush is able to effectively give props to his friends in the religious right without alienating the general public as a whole.  

The basic idea is that if we lose this election you can count on another Scalia, Thomas or Renquist being appointed.  This is a very old court and in the next 4 years a lot of shake up might occur.  I'm not certain, but I'm willing to guess this is the oldest court in the nation's history.

Slate has a whole article on the thing:  

The link to kos is here: The Weblog Daily Kos has a few additional examples, and if you go looking yourself, I promise you'll find all the evidence you could possibly need.
