It's a controversial banner issue, and the original decision is, legally speaking, extremely flimsy , so it's not hard to find reasoning to overturn it. Thus, it is the most public of judicial issues.
Nonetheless, (regardless of the differing relative chances of these things) overturning it wouldn't be nearly as bad as forcing schools to treat intelligent design as if it were legitimate science or passing an amendment banning gay marriage, or gutting medicare and medicaid.

Firstly, I would say it would be worse then either of those.  Secondly, it's a much more credible threat.

How about the danger of Romney ignoring climate change and rolling back any pro-green policies Obama had (not that he had particularly many of them or spoke about them much besides to say that he was funding 'green jobs' by sending money to companies, and he pretty much never mentioned climate change)?

Actually, I'm leaning towards voting for Jill Stein myself (but I'm in one of the definitely-not-even-anywhere-close-to-being-a-battleground-state states, which Obama is almost certainly going to win handily (Intrade has a 97% chance of him winning this state), unless something completely unexpected happens, anyways.

At the moment, Intrade is showing 281 electoral votes for Obama (some of which are leaning his way, instead of solid) and 235 for Romney (none leaning his way instead of solid), with 22 as tossups (Virginia and Colorado). (See http://www.intrade.com/v4/misc/electoral-map/ ) Several days ago they had Ohio as a tossup, but it is now leaning towards Obama with 64.1% vs 38.8% for Romney. Mind you these are odds of winning the state for each candidate, not polls of voters' stated intentions. The election scoreboard projects Obama to have a 63.3% chance to win the election, currently (and Romney at 36.8%). That must reflect the chance that Obama could be sabotaged just before the end, or that Romney's family might arrange for certain voting machines to be rigged to steal the election, presumably. :V

The future ain't what it used to be.

I may vote for Jill Stein given that I live in California. Not much chance for Romney to take the vote here anyway unless too many of us get the same idea.

Maybe it's because we will grow so numerous that Earth-that-will-be-that-was will no longer be able to support our numbers?

I'm playing a pokemon game Nuzlock style, and I named my Zubat after Mitt.

My Zubat is totally sucking, he totally lost my vote.
