It reminds me of the fact that 7 of 9 SCOTUS justices were nominated by Republican Presidents.

Think of how much worse it might have been if Bush had gotten his choice for SCOTUS.

Yes, and that's actually a very critical issue for me in the upcoming election. (I'm in the "swing state" of MO.) If Obama was a moderate I would probably vote third party. But since he is a Marxist, I may be able to vote against him. :)

I have no confidence at all that McCain will nominate strict constructionist justices and judges because of his track record. APPEASE, APPEASE, APPEASE. "For the good of the honor of the Senate", or whatever nonsense. His gangland of 14 cost us a few extremely qualified judges in trade when there was no need to throw them over the side. We could have had them all. Now, if McCain is elected will he get away with nominating a Kennedy-type pro-death guy who votes in accordance with the Constitution one in four times, OR will people like us have the massive influence that we had over W? Interesting question. Will McCain even care what we say? I don't know yet. I still don't know how I'm going to vote. If he picks Ridge, I'm long gone. :)
