The Supreme Court justices aren’t just a diversion, imo. Powell is pro-abortion, anti-gun, and pro-affirmative action. Conservative judges are a personal affront to him.
Oddly enough I agree with both of us on this one. Powell is a liberal, and that’s why I always said that I wouldn’t support his elevation to a national ticket.
In the context of the Obama endorsement, however, the discussion of justices enabled him NOT to have to discuss the micro-resume of Barak Obama.
