McCain specifically said he would NOT appoint someone like Alito because he wore his conservatism on his sleeve -

McCain said Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito "would serve as the model for my own nominees if that responsibility falls to me,"

Half of what you said is BS and the other is an independent statement not linked to your BS conclusion.

He also voted for Ginsburg without blinking his beady little eyes.

So did a lot of republicans but he didn't nominate her fool. Back then republicans allowed presidents to appoint judges, times have changed if you paid attention.

But you go ahead and vote symbolism over substance, it's in the best moonbat tradition.

John Fund, “Then there is the issue of judicial nominations, a top priority with conservatives. Nothing would improve Mr. McCain’s standing with conservatives more than a forthright restatement of his previously stated view that “one of our greatest problems in America today is justices that legislate from the bench.” Mr. McCain bruised his standing with conservatives on the issue when in 2005 he became a key player in the so-called gang of 14, which derailed an effort to end Democratic filibusters of Bush judicial nominees. More recently, Mr. McCain has told conservatives he would be happy to appoint the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court. But he indicated he might draw the line on a Samuel Alito, because “he wore his conservatism on his sleeve.””

Happy to appoint...happy to appoint...happy to appoint Spector.

Actually, he said both.
