George Bush saved the second ammendment with his court appointments? Gore appointees would almost certainly have voted Heller down.

I have no wish to speak ill of my Brothers in Arms, but voting for anybody but McClueless could have dire results vis-a-vis the Second Amendment.....

Holding the Supreme Court is an absolute MUST! Vote accordingly...

Grain of Salt: This IS from Bob Barr... but then, we KNOW he is more conservative than McChurian too... and the rest of the rethoric in the article aside, these two points are irrefutable:

Mr. McCain is a convenient convert to the cause of sound judicial appointments. He has never paid much attention to judicial philosophy, backing both Clinton Supreme Court nominees – Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He also participated in the so-called "Gang of 14," which favored centrist over conservative nominees as part of a compromise between President George W. Bush and Senate Democrats.

But even if a President McCain were to influence the court, it would not likely be in a genuinely conservative direction. His jurisprudence is not conservative.

For instance, most conservatives believe that the First Amendment safeguards political speech. Mr. McCain does not. Indeed, it is the liberal bloc which upheld McCain-Feingold's restrictions on ads criticizing incumbent politicians, while the conservative members, led by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, forged a more recent majority overturning parts of McCain-Feingold.

Can we really trust him to make "conservative" appointments? Especially since he's so willing to "work with" the other side... you know, the ones who will "approve" his pick?

I think Hobie is right - liberal appointees never turn conservative but conservative appointees sometimes go south on us.

All it shows is that the Republic is pretty much doomed either way.

Until people stop saying "we can't vote for him because nobody will vote for him", things will only get worse.

Whether now or later, they WILL get progressively worse.
