In 1993, McCain voted to confirm the pro-abortion liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But when Bush set out to restore constitutionalism, McCain formed the Gang of 14, seven senators from each party. All agreed to vote to block the GOP Senate from invoking the “nuclear option”—i.e., empowering the GOP to break a filibuster of judicial nominees by majority vote—unless the seven Democrats agreed. Yeah, sounds like he is a BIG supporter of Conservative judges alright!

He also voted for Souter, who with Ginsburg supported his McCain/Feingold supporession of free speech. Who was apposed to it? The Conservative judges. Yeah he'll appoint them!

And I also stand with John Funds assertion on what he said about Alito, that he might not appoint a judge like Sam Alito who "wore his conservatism on his sleeve."

The problem with your argument is that you believe McCain supports judges that are Conservatives, yet he hates Conservitives! He may have voted for them, but that isn't proof he will nominate them in the future!

Your argument is very tenuous. Lots of Senators confirmed both Ginsburg and Souter. So what? But it comes down to is this... you have your opinions — which I respect. And I have mine.
