Seminar poster?

Don’t know who McCain would nominate to SCOTUS. I do know how he, Obama and Hillary actually voted on Alito and Roberts, though:

Judges - Alito
Clinton: Voted NO on confirming Samuel Alito as Supreme Court Justice. (Jan 2006)
Obama: Voted NO on confirming Samuel Alito as Supreme Court Justice. (Jan 2006)
McCain: Voted YES on confirming Samuel Alito as Supreme Court Justice. (Jan 2006)

Judges - Roberts
Clinton: Voted NO on confirming John Roberts for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. (Sep 2005)
Obama: Voted NO on confirming John Roberts for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. (Sep 2005)
McCain: Voted YES on confirming John Roberts for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. (Sep 2005)

But lets not let something like actual facts get in the way of a good argument...

McCain voted for them because there was no good reason not to.

He might try nominating a more conservative judge, but he will not win because he will never get it past a dem controlled Congress.

Best guess is that we will get a Souter so McCain can get things done, and work with Demonrats.

Yes, let’s not ignore reality. After all, John voted to confirm Ginsberg. I’ll bet you think Ted Kennedy was a louse for doing that.

Of course John was just going along with the majority, just like all great leaders do. /s

Get back to me when you can point out how McCain voted for Clinton’s appointees.

Ginsburg and Breyer. Did McCain vote yes or no for them?
