Yes, for now they recognize that. What worries me is that we are just one or two Supreme Court justices from nullifying that right. A couple of them are getting up in years and may retire or resign for health reasons, then the President picks their successors.

True enough. But they have to be approved by the House and Senate. That's why in 2014 I'd suggest folks pay real attention to who they are voting for.
