In 2000, McCain floated the idea of naming Warren Rudman as his Attorney General. And yes, that was after it was clear that the Souter pick was a disaster. (-link-)

btw, McCain also voted in favor of confirming Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

When it comes to abortion, the only power the President has is to select judges who are strict constructionalists. Only with that can the battle even begin. The day that Roe is overturned, abortion will still be legal in all 50 states. It is only then that the fight for life in each of our states can have a fair chance of success. With a McCain nomination, that process will again be delayed for decades.

“btw, McCain also voted in favor of confirming Ruth Bader Ginsberg.”

She was confirmed 97-3.. Almost every republican voted for her. Again, your point?

On Warren Rudman as A-G? so what? The A-G has no power over abortion. McCain did not list Rudman as his model justice. He routinely says his ideal justice is Robert, Scalia, Thomas and Alito, all of whom he supported. BTW, where was Mitt during the Clarence Thomas battle... Oh yea. He was an independent during the time of Reagan Bush(when Thomas was appointed)... he did not want to go back to Reagan Bush...or so he told Teddy Kennedy)

McCain’s record of support for these stalwart conservatives contrasts nicely with the gay activists Mitt appointed to the Courts in Massachusetts. You are on the losing side of this argument, my friend.
