He will appoint far better than Obama will.

I'm not going to try to persuade people who hate Romney to vote for Romney. I am going to do my best to persuade people to hate Obama, and to cast a vote that will help boot him from office.

I refuse to use a relative scale. Roberts is a "better justice" than who Gore would have appointed... yet what quality is he?

“He will appoint far better than Obama will.”

Here are some examples of what Republican presidents believe are good justices:

Earl Warren - EIsenhower
William Brennan - Eisenhower
Harry Blackman (Mr. Roe v Wade) - Nixon
John Paul Stevens - Ford
Anthony Kennedy - Reagan
Sandra Day O’Connor - Reagan
David Souter - GHW Bush
Harriet Myers (GW Bush wanted her but conservatives forced her to withdraw)
John Roberts (GW Bush)

Given the historical record with respect to Republican Supreme Court nominations, why would we believe a liberal Republican (Romney) would nominate a true conservative judge to the Court? Expect Romney to replace a Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito or Roberts with a moderate to left leaning judge who will move further left once on the Court. Based on past behavior, Romney will likely be like George HW Bush who nominated David Souter in order to avoid a confirmation fight.

Will they be good enough?

Obama's judges say it's OK to cut your leg off at the hip. Will Romney's judges say it's OK to cut your leg off at the knee?
