“Because he did oppose them”
No, as someone else mentioned on this thread, he voted to confirm both.
“and even came out publicly against Alito saying that “he wears his Conservatism on his sleeve.”
This was a unsourced claim by Fund of the WSJ. McCain said that Alito was a “magnificent choice”, and insisted he would appoint justices “along the lines of Roberts and Alito,” and that he would “try to find clones” of the two.
As I said, he ended up voting to confirm all 4.
Ginsberg, Roberts, Alito, and Stevens.
and I see no reason to believe that the statement attributed to him is wrong at all.
He has never denied it, and it fits perfectly with all of his past actions and statements.
Next you will be telling me that he is really a low tax and small government guy after he voted no to both Bush tax cuts and supports the Lieberman Warner cap and trade theft.
After you tell us how strong he will be with terrorists after he closes GITMO, outlaws waterbording, and grants them the protections of the American Legal system
