Next President Will Leave 'Indelible' Mark, Says Christian Lawyer

[The Christian Post] 5 Nov 2008--It’s not just about four or eight years in office, but the next president will play a key role in the appointment of a number of Supreme Court justices that will leave an “indelible” mark on history, said a prominent Christian lawyer.

For many reasons the presidential election this year is historic and unprecedented, including the real possibility of electing the first African-American U.S. president or the first woman vice president.

But perhaps less obvious, or less talked about, is the fact that whoever steps into the White House next year will elect two to three Supreme Court justices that will have the power to amend the U.S. constitution and will stay in office long after the 44th president leaves office.

“I think this is the most significant election in our lifetime and I’ll tell you why,” said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), during a GODTV Election Special program on Sunday and re-aired Monday night.

Sekulow, who has argued numerous cases in defense of constitutional freedoms before the U.S. Supreme Court, translated what appointing new justices means to middle-aged Americans.
