Like Ginsberg, a judge you voted for John??????

This guy sure knows how to spin.

I think I’ll start calling him the Screw Driver.

[Always Right]

This is a big issue for McCain to win back some conservatives, although there will still be many who do not trust him on this issue. But if you know the makeup of the court and the ages and health of the judges, you would realize how critical it is for the Democrats to win the White House in 2008.

Listen up Republicans.  The Republican National Committee and Senator John McCain are looking for folks who are willing to let bygons be bygons.

Over the last twenty years, Senator McCain has taken on a lot of baggage.  Today he needs many of you to help him carry it.

If you're willing to help John carry some of the same baggage that Senator Ted Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton have accumlated, please contact the McCain campaign and or the RNC at once.  It's going to take a lot of folks to carry this around between now and Tuesday November 4th.

If you're a Democrat in good standing and find some of this baggage to be appealing, you may find yourself compelled to help out, and we would welcome you.  We're asking anyone who doesn't mind carrying this baggage to contact us right away.

We have found a larger number of Conservatives unwilling to overlook what this baggage represents, than we thought we would, so we're reaching out to anyone that is willing to help out.

Please use the following numbers to offer help.  900-555-NUTS or 900-555-LFTY.

How about illegal immigration, Johnnie?

Gonna tell the good folks you sided with B. Hussein Obama, not to mention, Teddy “The Swimmer” Kennedy in your attempt to push an amnesty for wetbacks through the Senate?

Are you?

Let’s hear him provide names of people he would consider nominating to the bench. Otherwise, I will consider this spin.

When talking to a leftist about activist judges,

they’ll try to classify any overturning of previous rulings as “activism”, pushing Constitutional constructionist judges into this category,

but they will avoid at all costs (or say “you do it too”) the fact that lib judges go into a case with a social goal in mind, and find justification wherever they have to go to find it.

If I had my way, any judge that put any reference to anything outside of the written Constitution into any ruling would be automatically impeached.

[TBP]

And yet:

1. He told a group of supporters that he would NOT appoint judges like Alito because “that guy wears his conservatism on his sleeve.”

2. He knows that judges in the Rehnquist-Roberts-Alito mold would be more likely to overturn his signature achievement, McCain-Feingold, given the chance.

3. He loves to accommodate Democrats and he knows that the Dimmycraps will NEVER allow judges like that to get coonfirmed; and

4. He was the leader of the so-called “Gang of Fourteen” which deraield the prospect of forcing through cofirmation of several of President Bush’s nominations — especially the ones most in the mold of the judges he now says he likes.

Let’s be honest: we’ve gotten these promises from every Republican Presiential nominee, then we’ve gotten justices like Earl Warren, William Brennan, Harry Blackmun, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, and so very many others.

McCain also says he’ll secure the borders, but at the same time he says he’d sign a bill like the amnesty bill that bore his name.

Juan McVain simply isn’t telling you the truth. There is no “straight talk” there — he talks out of both sides of his mouth, like any other politician infected with a bad case of Potomac fever.

[Condor51]

Sen. John McCain slammed his Democratic rivals’ judicial philosophy and railed against “activist judges” who show “little regard” for the Constitution and even “less interest” for the interests of the American people,

What a pos!
This (blank) has NO ROOM to talk. He wants his freaking AMNESTY back.

"McCain said, and the lesson I learned from it is we’ve got to have comprehensive immigration reform.”

You didn't LEARN anything you (blank)ing idiot! You and your buddy Kennedy's 'comprehensive immigration reform' was the whole dam problem.

Lotta luck getting elected with your moderate crossover Dem's and illegals, senator Sh*t For Brains.

[SoConPubbie]

So why did he vote for Ginsburg?

John McCain, doing the Pandering that Conservatives won’t do!

I didn’t click the link - is this really from a SATIRE “news” site?

Although I despise activist judges as much as McCain does, McCain either doesn't understand or is ignoring the main problem with our courts.

The biggest problem with the courts is actually the people. The people are the problem because ignorance of the Constitution and how the government is supposed to work is epidemic. Widespread constitutional ignorance is evidenced by the following links.

The consequence of widespread constitutional ignorance is that the people are impotent to stop activist judges from walking all over our constitutional freedoms.

The way that we got into this mess with respect to activist judges versus constitutional ignorance, in my opinion, is as follows.

Judicial activism took a turn for the worst in the days of FDR's dirty politics. This is because FDR got the USSC to give the green light to his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs; the Court scandalously politically repealed 10th A. protected state powers in order to give FDR what he wanted. And by politically nuking 10th A. protected state powers, FDR foolishly created a political situation where there's now "nothing" in the Constitution that stops corrupt justices from allowing the feds to interefere with state affairs. And decades of activist justices ignoring 10th A. protected state powers has ultimately weakened traditional family values.

As a side note, this post (<-click), while addressing tax issues, provides more details as to how the 10th A. stood in the way of FDR establishing his New Deal programs.

And this post (<-click) gives examples of how corrupt justices then began using FDR's "license" to ignore 10th A. protected state powers to eventually stifle traditional family values. The USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion and today's suppression of ID discussion in public school classrooms are examples of this corruption.

Again, because of widespread ignorance of the Constitution and its history, it seems that the best that response that people have given to Constitution-ignoring activist judges is to sit on their hands with their mouths wide open.

The bottom line is that, instead of blaming everything on activist judges, the people need to reconnect with the Founder's intentions for the division of federal and government state powers. The people then need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding that the feds start respecting the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, particularly where wrongly ignored 10th A. protected state powers are concerned. This not only includes allowing religion-related discussions in public schools while respecting people's 14th A. protections, but also putting a stop to all constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes.

I’d believe this message coming from Fred Thompson. But McCain? Gimme a break.

"Sen. John McCain slammed his Democratic rivals’ judicial philosophy and railed against 'activist judges' who show 'little regard' for the Constitution and even 'less interest' for the interests of the American people..."

Yes, JOHN, they are called 'LIBERALS'. Hint, Hint.
