When Bush was asked about what type of Supreme Court picks he would make I thought he missed an opportunity to vividly paint a picture of the difference between himself and Kerry, plus that whole bit about the Dred Scott decision was just damn bizarre.
If he gets another chance, I hope he points out that he would do his best to pick judges who;
1. Would not impose gay marriage/civil unions on the entire nation agains the will of the people and their elected representatives. Bush should also point out that this is the crux of the matter, because Kerry knows he can claim to oppose gay marriage and support states rights because he knows the Courts -- especially if staffed with his judges -- will eventually do for the Left what they can't do in a fair democratic fight in Congress and most state legislatures.
2. Would not make impossible even the most reasonable restrictions on abortion, as some federal courts have overtuned bans on partial birth abortion even when it contains language allowing for exceptions for the life of the mother. (Bush let Kerry go w/o pointing out he voted against a ban that had such an exception)
3. Would recognize that the Second Amendment protects and individual right of Americans, not a collective right as liberals like Kerry claim.
Also highlights a troubled culture corrupted by self-absorbed liberals in which defense of the unborn is discouraged.
According to the Liberal Credo, pro-life statements are considered "religious" and thus fall under the atrocity of political correctness.
