“McCain to talk judges in North Carolina”
CNN”s Political Ticker has this report:
On the day Democrats hold a crucial primary in North Carolina, John McCain will venture to the Tar Heel State to lay out his vision on what kind of judges he would appoint to the bench.
The McCain campaign tells CNN’s Dana Bash the Arizona senator will deliver a speech next Tuesday at Wake Forrest University designed to help bolster his standing among conservatives with regard to the issue of judges.
Many conservatives took issue with McCain in 2005 for signing on to the so-called “gang of 14″ in the Senate — a bipartisan group of senators who sought to find a compromise on some of President Bush’s judicial nominees.
Oh, and be sure to read the accompanying comments. Here are just a few gems:
The last thing we need are more stone age thinking right wing nut jobs sitting on the bench for life.
Is this the same McCain that was a POW? What was that he said about the USA? And isn’t this the same McCain that was involved with the Keating 5? But, guess what, he wears a flag pin!!!!!!! And the judges he appoints will be of the same caliber.
He`ll appoint conservative judges to go along with Roberts, flushing out the more liberal ones. ———- Heaven help us all when this happens. Big Corporations will win——————
All we need are to more Justices like Bush picked. They will start giving corporations the right to vote. For all of the democrats who say they won’t vote if their candidate doesn’t win the nomination think about having the Supreme Count controlled by the EXTREME RIDIACAL RIGHT. Is that what you want? I want a court that is balanced not an ideology base of conservatives. I want a court that returns to the constitution.
Clearly, they all have dizzying intellects.
