Possible talking point: a shift in the focus of the Supreme Court.

...while the issue of whether to criminalize abortion tended to favor Democrats, the political issues that now raise constitutional questions tend to favor Republicans.

Will we see the GOP asking Obama nominees, "is a health care mandate constitutional?"
