McCain Should Use Supreme Court to Sway Wary Conservatives

The Patriot Room ^ | August 2, 2008 | Scott Martin

There are four justices over seventy years of age: Stevens 88, Ginsberg 75, Scalia 72, and Kennedy 71. Of these, only Scalia is conservative. With McCain, the GOP can own the Court for decades with conservative replacements. But will he campaign on this issue?

I agree.

For whatever reason, the dems are willing to filibuster judges and the repubs are not.

McCain thought it wise to uphold the power to filibuster, but they would never have used it.

So, in your world “pragmatic conservative” (aka, Nixon, perhaps both Bushes) are identical to “liberal Democrats.”

Man, that’s Bizarro World! So, you’ll understand if I don’t care much what folks like you think of me.

You and your group of McCain apologists are the only bogus conservatives here. McCain said Pelosi is a hero. I guess she’s your hero too.

I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a Barack Obama enabler like you. You guys spout the same crap relentlessly...it's like it's from a playbook. You got nuthin'. Shove off!

[catfish1957]

Typical McCain apologist, and can't answer one direct question. Shove off yourself RINO, and join your hero Pelosi's camp.

FR is conservative site. Not one for koolaid drinking liberal Rockefeller republicans like your yourself. Move along little guy, and let the adults discuss this.

You're almost as boring as Rabscuttle.

If Senator McCain doesn’t pick a STRONG pro-life, conservative running mate, he will NEVER be able to convince conservatives that he will pick originalist judges.
