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.

—We’d be lucky to get Laurence Tribe.—

Larry’s seen as a liberal’s liberal, but he does see a fundamental right to bear arms in the US Constitution (2nd amendment BoR). Is he an NRA’er? Heck, no, but he says he never received more hate mail—from his liberal buddies no less—than when he made this observation. He loves the Roe decision thougth, so forget overturning that mess.

And, thanks to McCain and the Gang of 14, Hillary and Obama can't ram Tribe through with only a simple majority. (Of course, not really -- the nuclear option would have been overturned by the courts. But I'll play the FR game of pretend.)
