I agree that the 2016 election has the potential to impact future generations in a way not seen since Richard Nixon appointed four justices after his 1968 election. But I am not so sure that a liberal majority would overturn 'Citizens United' or roll back Second Amendment rights recently recognized by the court, nor am I persuaded that a newly solidified conservative majority would reverse 'Roe v. Wade'.

Widespread speculation over the impact of the presidential election on the U.S. Supreme Court brings to mind an old tale of two judicial giants, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Learned Hand.
Legend has it that after dining together, Judge Hand parted with these words to his friend: “Do justice sir, do justice!” Justice Holmes replied sharply: “It is not my job to do justice! It is my job to apply the law!”
