I think those of you who wish to cast doubt on McCain and judges should take a look at history.

McCain should wear this criticism by “People for the American [sic!] Way” as a badge of honor. Long Live Bork!

Looks like McLame might be getting a scent of the roses and skewing toward the right just a bit.

It's history of being a Maverick (Sticking the GOP and conservatives in the eye to garner support on the left) IS what we are looking at.
That having been said, this is a good thing on McCain's part.

Another strike against him. If Bork had been confirmed, Heller would have been decided on the side of the "collective militia" BS.

“I think those of you who wish to cast doubt on McCain and judges should take a look at history.”
I know that those of you that use judges as reason to vote for the jerk purposefully “forget” who runs the Senate. Even if the jerk nominated an acceptable judge to you and I, Leahy on the judicial comittee will just say “no” and then we get the Juanito doing what he does best, working with his (actual) political party to (once again) screw America.

Libs didn’t like Bork because he was much smarter than they. Hmmmm, guess that’s why libs don’t like most of the people they meet.
To: Maelstorm
McCain can say this now. He knows with a RAT heavy Congress no conservative judge will make it through the process. He can always apologize later that he could not help what the judiciary committee did.
How are we supposed to get excited when he touted that he also voted for the likes of Ginsberg?

For.
And for Breyer.
And supported the Miers nomination.
A President McCain will find he can only appoint (and get confirmed) judges the Dems approve. They will most probably have an even bigger control in the Senate. McCain will have to pander to the Dems on the Judiciay Committee especially for any SC justice nominees. And they won't allow the SC to shift any further to the right.

Just something to think about.
The four liberal justices are the most likely to leave the court during the next presidential term. Should two of them or one plus Kennedy go, McCain could appoint the most conservative replacements he could find. The Senate could refuse to bring the appointees up for confirmation vote if they wanted, but the remaining four conservative justices would control the court. A four to three decision is just as good as a five to four one. Since there is no constitutional requirement for nine justices, a president could leave a vacancy unfilled if he wanted. There would be no reason for the president to compromise.
