George W Bush tried to give us a liberal judge on SCOTUS too, remember that? The uproar from conservatives was the only thing that stopped it.
Romney or Newt can’t even be trusted to give us conservative judges.
True about Harriet Miers. (Or I, at least, believe it.)
And even Republican presidents pick horrific clunkers (Warren, Brennan, Blackmun, Souter). But at least we have a good SHOT at conservatives with a non-leftist President.
FWIW, I read that Robert Bork is on Willard’s judicial advisory committee. So I tend to think that, on the issue of judges, Willard will be hugely better than Obama (or that, if he’s not, Bork will make a public stink and quit, at least).
No clue about Newt. He has 2/3 the flip flops of Mitt, triple the wives and double the weight. Seems to lack self-control. But Newt > Obama in a heartbeat. For the Court.
