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.

McCain would NEVER “go to the mattress” for conservatives or conservatism. He’d “reach out across party lines” and appoint a mushy moderate quick as a wink. And Senate conservatives (those who surive the Nov. 2008 election at least) will have a hard time opposing him because he is—theoretically-a republican. At least with Cankles or Hussein as POTUS the congressional conservatives would put up a better fight, a point Rush Limbaugh (FWIW) has made several times.
