The next President will have a minimum of 2 SCOTUS places to fill. Would small government Libertarians prefer a Ted Olsen, or a Mario Cuomo? There is more to the race than Federal spending, wouldn't you agree?
You are a FReeper because there is so much we agree with. I myself am vary partial to Libertarian views. But as a political consultant I have seen the consequences of a Libertarian PARTY. I would much rather Libertarians work within the primary system to weed out big government Republicans before they advance. I think Club for Growth does a good job of this to some degree.
Libertarians prefer, no - insist upon, strict-constructionist jurists who actually understand the Constitution and the severe limits it puts upon government authority.
Republicans prefer, apparently, judges who'll do what the Party wishes - including telling us what kind of toilets we are permitted to buy.
