McCain will have a Senate with a Democratic majority throughout his first term. Therefor, he will not have the political capital to go with a Strong Pro Life Justice.

That may be true but McCain is also in his 70s, how secure do you think the base would feel with a pro-abort waiting in the wings?

McCain will have a Senate with a Democratic majority throughout his first term.

I certainly hope not. When he has to work with Dim majorities, he proposes Dim legislation. We'll have McCain-Reid and McCain-Pelosi to go with the rest of the trash.

Even Clarence Thomas was confirmed by a Democratic Senate.

He doesn't have to have a strong "Pro Life" Justice. In fact, the less said about "Pro Life", the better.

All you need to overturn Roe v. Wade are strong "Constructionist" Justices that believe that the Constitution should say what it means and mean what it says.

John McCain believes that one of the greatest threats to our liberty and the Constitutional framework that safeguards our freedoms are willful judges who usurp the role of the people and their representatives and legislate from the bench. As President, John McCain will nominate judges who understand that their role is to faithfully apply the law as written, not impose their opinions through judicial fiat.

McCain will not appoint a strong pro-life justice no matter what the make up of the Senate. Any strong pro-life justice would be almost certain to rule against his signature McCain-Feingold legislation
