I googled some Romney potential Supreme Court picks the other day. I didn't know much about their real philosophy but their records seemed ok. Like this one "Paul Clement, who served as U.S. solicitor general under President George W. Bush and is now a lawyer in private practice, is the favorite of many conservatives. Clement argued last month for the Supreme Court to strike down Obama's 2010 healthcare law, and he is defending laws that ban same-sex marriage and that target illegal immigrants."

I don't know if these are just straw men to get conservatives on his side. I do know that any Romney pick will be better than Sotomeyer or Kagan.

The key word and problem is “potential.” Like most of the speeches Romney has given lately what he says doesn't match what he did as Governor. I'm afraid that while people may suggest he appoint conservative judges, his record says he won't. I don't think we can give the man a pass for having been in a liberal state. No one is under more pressure from he liberal media than the president. I would expect picks just like he had in Massachusetts, I have no faith that the leopard has changed his spots.

This article sums up the problem. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2865001/posts
