Why? Because the odds are good that at least two justices will leave the Supreme Court in the next four years. And both of the eldest SC justices are liberal-leaning. So of Obama replaces them with two other liberal-leaning justices, then you've got a net change of zero. But if McCain replaces them with conservatives, that'll swing it to the right.
