Appointing conservative judges would undermine the maverick’s legislative legacy.

I keep asking the question, when schumer and the democrats filibuster the next conservative nominee to the supreme court, will McCain shut down the government if they refuse to give his nominee and up or down vote? Anything less will mean another souter or a kennedy to the court. My gut tells me McCain will cave in and appoint a liberal to the court.

Not fair. Quit looking at what the man has done, listen and believe what he says. /s

McCain, faced with a Democratic Congress, could use judicial appointments as a bargaining chip to achieve policy compromises.”

That is frightening and actually I never thought about this but this could be true.

McCain answered, “Well, certainly Roberts,”

With McCain we have a chance of another Roberts, even if not another Alito. With Clinton or Obama we have the certainty of abominations appointed to the Supreme Court. We'd be lucky to get Laurence Tribe.

If McCain had some kind of record for keeping his word or standing by his party, this might have a little credibility.

But as it is, he has zero credibility. He would “reach out” to Teddy Kennedy & Co. in a nanosecond.

"Appointing conservative judges would undermine the maverick’s legislative legacy."

Actually, it would undermine Soros', McCain's puppetmaster's agenda.

McCain is most certainly going to nominate better judges than either Hillary or Barak would.

The article by Michael Dougherty completely overlooks major constitutional problems with Roe v. Wade anyway. In fact, this post (<-click) tells how FDR's constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs arguably let to the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.

And speaking of FDR, the concern about nominating the wrong people to the Supreme Court hauntingly reflects on FDR's unpopular plan to stack the Court.
