1. Economist explains How the election will shape the Supreme Court
Hyberbole: bold overstatement
Roving: mobile
Background of America's Supreme Court panel: the justices cannot be sacked. The only way for them to step down is either by death or self-declared retirement.
Due to the aged justices, the next elected president is likely to appoint four others and in turn influence the American law. Both parties have identified their own candidates to fill up the recently availed seat. Worst come to worst, both side just come to a deadlock. Realistically speaking, any changes in the Supreme Court will not drastically overturn the situation. It takes time but the more Democrats appointees in it, the more likely they are going to shake the foundation laid for decades in many aspects.
2. X-rated everything. Is Kenya's film censor out of control?

It is not unreasonable to worry whether the excessive power given to KFCB would be abused in eradicating political oppositions.
