"Conservatives care about the United States so much ... that they're willing to
DEFEAT McCain --
give Hillary or Obama up to five Supreme Court nominations and allow Hillary or Obama to pull out of Iraq and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory -- to save the nation!!!"
There. Fixed it.
What assurance do we have that a President McCain would appoint strict constructionists to the Supreme Court when he opined that Justice Alito was too conservative. One area that the incumbent President was good was selection of Supreme Court justices. And even he tried to push Harriet Miers, a woman with no conservative credentials but a family friend, to replace Sandra O'Connor. His Republican predecessors, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Richard Nixon, appointed their share of moderates and even outright liberals (David Souter) onto the Supreme Court.
I suppose a Warren Burger or a Sandra O'Connor are better than a Ruth Ginsburg or a Stephen Breyer, but not by much.
