“The former governor also said he would oppose using federal dollars for abortions and would appoint Supreme Court justices opposed to abortions.”
Good to hear. But does he mean it? Seems to me that we’d have to elect him and then pray to God that he mean’t every syllable and wasn’t just saying what we want to hear.
In this day and age of almost all folks in the government not being trustworthy, that is a heck of a lot to take on faith.
“would appoint Supreme Court justices opposed to abortions.”
Anyway, this is irrelevant if Democrats have 55 seats in the senate in 2009. Even the most ultra-conservative president could not appoint justices opposed to abortion in that case. So in that sense, senate is crucial.
