Ted Olson:
From the article at The Spectator:
"I've known him for 26 years and we've talked about this many times," Olson said. "He feels very strongly that people like Justice Scalia, Chief Justice Roberts, Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas, are the type of people that he would put on the court
I'm quite convinced that this is a genuine viewpoint that he has."
But I can see that Olson is just another person a lot of freepers want to throw under the bus.
I think there is alot of misconceptions about what constitutionalist judges are all about. They aren't conservatives. Scalia isn't going to rule that a state based gay civil union law, is unconstitutional - because it isn't. Scalia is againt Roe (as I am), but that doesn't extend to believing that there is a constitutional basis to outlaw all abortion - control would return to the states. I've heard Scalia say this himself, bluntly.
I think alot of people want our side to use the federal courts, like the left has. they want conservative legislation from the bench.
