The Republican Platform 2000 said this:

The sound principle of judicial review has turned into an intolerable presumption of judicial supremacy. A Republican Congress, working with a Republican president, will restore the separation of powers and reestablish a government of law. There are different ways to achieve that goal - setting terms for federal judges, for example, or using Article III of the Constitution to limit their appellate jurisdiction - but the most important factor is the appointing power of the presidency. We applaud Governor Bush’s pledge to name only judges who have demonstrated that they share his conservative beliefs and respect the Constitution.

I'm just collecting sources. I know this is still not what you're looking for. BTW, it was posted on the PBS site on July 31, 2000.

Good find.

Though, the platform committees don't necessarily represent the candidates themselves.

Phyllis Schlafly was a member of that one-if I recall correctly-and I'm almost certain that she's considered persona non grata by the current Bush administration.
