McCain did not "pick" those justices, he approved the president's choices which was exactly what 90 plus denators did each time. McCain has never picked Justices and he would pick Justices like the four conservatives in the minority on this decision. As you should know, McCain has criticized the decision.

Failing to recognize that voting for McCain is essential to reversing this decision is, as my daughter says, an epic fail.

Approved/picked/selected/supported/ voted for...choose your semantic. It brings the same result and gives us a glimpse each time into McCain's liberal mindset.

...and he would pick Justices like the four conservatives in the minority on this decision.

Sorry, I don't trust leftist backstabbers.

As you should know, McCain has criticized the decision.

No he hasn't. He paid homage to Roberts as a form of political grandstanding. He threw a slider.

"These are unlawful combatants, they are not American citizens and I think we should pay attention to Justice Roberts' opinion in this decision," McCain said, referring to the chief justice's dissent. "But it is a decision that the Supreme Court has made. Now we need to move forward. As you know I always favored closing Guantanamo Bay and I still think we ought to do that."- McCain

Using the phrase "Paying Attention" is McCain's way of telling Roberts to sit down and shut up as respectfully as he can muster without stepping on his previous comments on how he "might" nominate future SCOTUS judges.

Give it up, Williams. The McCain Deranged will give us President Obama and be proud of it.
