“He will appoint far better than Obama will.”
Here are some examples of what Republican presidents believe are good justices:
Earl Warren - EIsenhower
William Brennan - Eisenhower
Harry Blackman (Mr. Roe v Wade) - Nixon
John Paul Stevens - Ford
Anthony Kennedy - Reagan
Sandra Day O’Connor - Reagan
David Souter - GHW Bush
Harriet Myers (GW Bush wanted her but conservatives forced her to withdraw)
John Roberts (GW Bush)
Given the historical record with respect to Republican Supreme Court nominations, why would we believe a liberal Republican (Romney) would nominate a true conservative judge to the Court? Expect Romney to replace a Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito or Roberts with a moderate to left leaning judge who will move further left once on the Court. Based on past behavior, Romney will likely be like George HW Bush who nominated David Souter in order to avoid a confirmation fight.
Now, put your list of Republican presidential nominees in juxtaposition with Democrat nominees, and tell me which ones are worse. You cannot take one or two boneheaded decisions and throw the whole baby out with the bath water. We’re it not for Roberts, you would have already lost most of your 2nd Amemndment rights. Was his Obamacare decision troubling? You bet your sweet arse it was. But make no mistake about it. A vote not cast for the sub mediocre Romney IS a vote for 4 more years of the current White House stench. You will be digging your own grave. Hold your nose like the rest of us and pull the R lever, and pray to the Almighty God in Heaven that we are afforded a little more time to fend off the wolves.
