He has appointed abortion activists, and gay marraige activists as judges.
This man can be allowed nowhere near the ability to appoint Supreme Court judges.
People really need to stop relying on the MSM for their info.
In Mass the governor can only appoint from a list sent to him from a commission appointed by the legislature. Romney had a liberal-left legislature. They had a liberal-left commission.
If no conservative choices are sent to you, there is no mechanism to go outside the list, from what I understand.
