How is McCain supposed to get conservative judicial nominees through a heavily DemocRat/Socialist Congress?
Minority or Regional Candidate that is supremely qualified. Bush attempted to appoint a brilliant honduran to the district circuits. The democrats filibustered the crap out of it because that guy would be next in line under a republican presidency and there would be no way the democrats can vote against a brilliant hispanic jurist.
Heck, Roberts would be unassailable even with the majorities in congress. Noone’s been borked in a long, long time.
