There is a lot more than the presidential elections at stake, depending on how you vote in this election can affect a generation. Up to three Supreme Court appointment could shape the direction of the country for a generation.
And we have more rulings like:
Hobby Lobby which allowed companies to force their religious beliefs on their employees,
Or Citizens United which allow unlimited campaign contributions,
Or that the courts overturn marriage equality, rule Title VII and IX does not cover trans people,
And some of the court cases coming up are voter ID laws and gerrymandering voting districts.
How will you justify allowing the conservative packing the court?
Election could determine transgender case at Supreme CourtAnd it is not just trans issues at stake,

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s order blocking a transgender male from using the boys’ restroom at his Virginia school underscores how the presidential election results will shape the high court.
One of the court’s nine seats has been vacant since Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, and as many as three older justices could retire in the coming years.
The sometimes-polarized court won’t decide what to do about the transgender bathroom case until around the election, and possibly months later. The justices probably will know by then whether the person picked to succeed Scalia will push the court to the left or to the right.
The transgender issue is just one of many high-profile social and political issues on which the new ninth justice could hold the decisive vote.
The justices also could soon be asked to block an appellate ruling striking down North Carolina voting provisions, including the state’s voter ID law. If the high court is evenly divided, the ruling would remain in effect. Breyer, who dissented in a 2008 ruling upholding Indiana’s voter ID law, is less likely to provide a fifth vote to keep the North Carolina law in place, especially after appellate judges said it was enacted to make it harder for African-Americans to vote.Many of you say you cannot vote for Clinton because of your conscious; let me ask you what will your conscious say if three more conservation justices are appointed?
