That's speculation. We might. We might not. I'll take might over won't, and Obama/Hillary Clinton will give us Breyer clones, all of which would be confirmed by a crappy senate.

When the choice given to us is "Might be good" vs "won't be good", I'll take my chances with the might, despite putting a bag over my head when I leave the polling booth.

I won't make the perfect the enemy of the sometimes good, when the other choice is "always bad." We got a Roberts, Thomas, and Alito vote out of McCain. That's more than I can say for the rest of the turkeys running.

McAmnesty opposed Judge Sanual Alito

He voted for Alito. Source is Senate.gov

Vote 1 - Cloture to break the fillibuster - passed 72-25 with 3 no votes.

McCain - Aye
Clinton - Nay
Obama - Nay

Vote 2 - Alito vote itself - passed 58-42
Same thing - McCain voted Aye, Clinton and Obama voted NAY

We might. We might not. There is no reason to believe that McVain would appoint Alito-type justices, especially when he said he wouldn't, and even less reason to believe that the Dimmycrap Congress would confirm them if he did.

I previously posted the reasons why he won't. In short, putting justices of the kind we want on teh Courtt would threaten McVain's chief legislative achievements, which are a line of unconstitutional usurpations and abdications of duty.

Hey, are you trying to get me to change my mind?

Thanks for thinking I'm reasonable enough that my mind might be changed. LOL!

Why wouldn’t I?
You’re a FReeper. We think. We are informed. Sometimes we get passionate but none of us are unreasonable. Truly. And even if we have a pet issue, I don’t think that any one of us is closed minded to other ways of thinking, even if we don’t agree.
That why most times we see people who agree to disagree.
