In the next four years, we will see at least one and possibly as many as four of the justices on the Supreme Court retire. Bush will appoint their replacements. The Republican congress will approve them. They won't be "judicial activists," which means they'll agree with whatever the president says the Constitution means.

In the next four years, the PATRIOT Act will be made permanent, meaning the government can track anyone it wants pretty much any way it wants without any justification or accountability.

In the next four years, deficit spending will probably continue. These debts will have to be repaid. We will be the ones paying them.

In the next four years, Bush will keep borrowing from Social Security. My parents will find the coffers thin when they retire. I may find them empty.

In the next four years, the government will continue lying blatantly to the American people about what America is doing, and the media will continue to go along with it.

He fooled you twice, America. Shame on you.
