I would love to know why the lady said that Romney was a constitutionalist and supported federalism. I haven’t found any information like that about Romney nor evidence of a history of that. In all the interviews I’ve seen him do, and he gives a very good interview, I’ve not heard this concept mentioned.
He’s not my first pick, I could vote for him, but I’m really not sure.
Judicial Appointments
When asked to describe the type of justices he would appoint to the federal bench if elected President, Romney responded: Governor Romney: "I think the justices that President Bush has appointed are exactly spot-on. I think Justice Roberts and Justice Alito are exactly the kind of justices America needs. They’re people who believe that the Constitution is what they’re to follow, not what they’re to depart from; people who do not believe that legislation from the bench is the responsibility or authority of being on the bench. I respect legal scholars of all backgrounds, but those who are going to be on the bench, if I were lucky enough to appoint them, would be people who believe their job is to follow the law and follow the Constitution."
