Have you fallen asleep at the wheel or what? Do you really think that if McCain wins he is going to get a strict constructionist judge past a Democrat controlled Congress?
Copme on, get into reality. Fat Teddy and McCain’s democrat cohorts will never allow him to get a conservative SCOTUS nominee by them.
Unfortunately, McCain will comply, and you will get another Souter or O’Conner.
This notion of voting for McCain, the liberal, on SCOTUS appointments is a weak and futile attempt to convince yourself that McCain is someone other than who he really is.
McCain needs to cross the aisle to the right side to garner Conservative voters. He just does not care and that is why he will lose.
McCain is counting on the reliable cowardice of wishy washy conservatives to help him usher in more liberalism.
No, but we can't give Obama and the Democrats an opportunity to reload the courts. All four liberal judges are seriously old. Two are ready to jump ship now. Just one term of Obama and will will have 4 youthful Ruth Bater Ginsburgs. With a McCain presidency, they will still be scared to retire, although a couple may not have much choice. McCain won't be able to get a conservative judge on the court unless the GOP makes some serious pickups in the Senate (doubtful). But McCain could get some moderate Kennedy /O'Conner types or perhaps a stealth conservative through. McCain will not be able to stack the court, but he will be able to stop the liberals from reloading it with youth. Currently each liberal judge is 15 years older than a corresponding conservative judge. We have huge age advantage, but just ONE DEMOCRATIC TERM with a Democratic Senate will change that.
