The Institute works at the state level as well to implement key election reforms that will help open up the political process. This includes promoting open primaries, fair redistricting, public campaign funding, lowering barriers to voter registration, facilitating ballot access, and encouraging an independent judiciary.

WHOAH! So McCain's little institute has been working hard to change the primary process, change the districting (California attempts have been to move it behind closed doors and shut out conservatives), and make sure that only big money talks. I wonder what he's been doing in the balloting access department.

What the heck does "encouraging an independent judiciary" mean?

“....encouraging an independent judiciary.”

Since everything else seems to be slanted towards the liberal way, i’d take it that an independent judiciary means a judiciary divorced from the moderates and conservatives who may have put it in place, only to become a liberal and activist judiciary bent on promoting social change....They don’t want constructionist Judges, they want activist ones, who are willing to use the Constitution as the basis for change...

<< “lowering barriers to voter registration, facilitating ballot access...”

And these two mean: Making it easier for crimigrants and criminaliens, to VOTE!
