Barack Obama would be no doubt be remembered as the Ronald Reagan of the left. 

Bill Clinton is more like the D's Nixon.

The difference between the liberal/Democratic opposition to Nixon and the Republican/conservative opposition to Obama is that the former had an actua case against Nixon that wasn't based on paranoid conspiracy theories. 
You have to admit though if the facts about "Fast and Furious" came out it would have been an issue.

Chris Christie will be the Republican Jimmy Carter.

Combined with Republicans taking back the Senate in either 2014 or 2016, that would mean we could be seeing the possibility of three new Supreme Court nominations, with Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Kennedy finally seeing the chance to retire with the certainty that a conservative would replace them.  That would finally spell the end of Roe vs. Wade and Planned Parenthood vs. Casey (preferably either in 2019 or early 2020), setting the stage for a feminist backlash that would reverberate for decades to come.  That would be the perfect year for Hillary Clinton to run, riding the inevitable wave of outrage following the decision.  One way or another, the Democratic base will be howling for a woman to be the nominee.    

How plausible a scenario is this?  
Scalia and Thomas are conservatives. Kennedy is a Moderate idealogically but he mostly sides with the conservatives justices. They aren't gonna cancel Planned Parenthood if that's what you are implying.

If President Obama goes ahead with a military strike on Syria without congressional approval, does anyone here see an impeachment effort gaining steam -and not just in the House?  

And with all the attention (thanks to Brad Manning and Ed Snowden) being given to federal government surveillance, will we be seeing a 21st century equivalent of the Frank Church Committee investigating the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA for illegal intelligence gathering?  
Obama isn't gonna be impeached nor is congress gonna vote on his impeachment. Obama did the same thing with Libya that he is gonna do with Syria in that he doesn't need congressional approval for missle strikes.
