The strongest case for Romney is the Supreme Court. With Romney, we might get good judges nominated and confirmed. With Obama, it is a guarantee we’ll get more terrible justices like Sotomayor and Kagan. Even if the GOP were to take the Senate, we have no reason to expect they’d vote down an Obama nominee.
If Obama wins and gets to replace Ginsburg or Breyer, that would be bad enough as he will have replaced the entire liberal bloc on the Sup Court, depriving us of a chance to really right the Court. If he gets to replace Scalia or Kennedy, then it’s over for any hope of a return to Constitutional jurisprudence.
The Second Amendment, for example, will be gutted of any meaning should Obama get to replace Scalia or Kennedy, both of whom voted the right way in the Heller and McDonald cases.
We have no reason to believe that, certainly not from his legacy as a governor where less than one-third of his judicial appointees were Republican and a couple were even homosexual activists. If you haven't done so already, please Google the search terms "Romney" and "judicial appointments."
Would he be willing to show his good faith by identifying now who he will commit to appointing to the Supreme Court? Probably not.
Would he be willing to show his good faith by making a commitment now to appoint to the Supreme Court only men or women who have committed themselves to overturning Roe v. Wade? Probably not.
What commitments would he be willing to make now? Given his demonstrated flexibility through time, would any kind of commitment from him mean anything?
Did you know that he has said that he would appoint judges like Chief Justice Roberts?
