Either of the Democrats will seek out Ginsburgs. Obama already told you he would look for judges who would rule based upon their feelings and their political leanings, in so many words. What Hillary would do should require no explanation.
Souter, as horrible as he is, was not selected by Rudman and accepted by B41 on that basis. He apparently lied to the President, and his record on the NHSC did not predict that he would play for the other team.
I don't think McCain will find any Scalias. But I also don't think he will sweep the nation for Ginsburgs.
^^^^^^^^^^^^Souter, as horrible as he is, was not selected by Rudman and accepted by B41 on that basis.^^^^^^^^^^^^
To my knowledge, Rudman knew full well that Souter was no originalist and both Rudman as well as Souter lied to B41.
But of course, It’s been a while since I went down this road. :-)
But Rudman was one of the most blueblooded country clubbers of his time from what I remember.

Given his own signature bills that he loves to continue to legislate by, I think McCain would purposely seek out Souters; with Rudman’s help.
