Ya'll might really want to check out McCain on Wolfie's show today---
Last night on Capital Gang, they ran a clip of part of his interview today--
Gary Bauer, a very conservative ex-congresscritter states that when he asked Bush in 2000(Ithink) if he would nominate a pro-life SCOTUS, Bush said that he would nominate a constitutionalist judge---but, when Bauer asked McCain whether he would nominate a pro-life nominee if he were POTUS, according to Bauer, he said YES he would....
However, supposedly on today's Wolfie show, when Wolf asked McCain about his pledge to, in effect, apply a litmus test to SCOTUS nominees, MCCain answers that the conversation with Bauer was "private" and wouldn't confirm nor deny that he said that....hmmmmm
Bauer never served in Congress.
I also think he's tried to undermine President Bush on several occasions and his comments on judicial nominees in comparison with his representations of private conversations with McCain are an example of this unfortunate trait.
