No, SCOTUS will be shot to hell. We will get moderates or mod-libs with McCain. “I can’t get a conservative through a dem senate!” No, SCOTUS is gone with any of the 3.

So you think we would be better off with the 2 or 3 more ultra-liberal judges that Clinton/Obama would appoint rather than the center/moderate judges that McCain would appoint.

Would you rather have a Sandra Day O'Connor or a Ruth Ginsberg? It is silly to pretend there were no difference between them.

It didn’t matter if O’Conner was as liberal as Ginsburg. Same with Souter. They all drift left over time. And both the mods and the libs agree most of the time, and more so as time goes on. O’Conner was the deciding vote, just like Souter is now. Most of the time they are with the libs.
