I know this because during the Texas primary, I got a recorded phone message from John his own self saying exactly that. Also, he is a Reagan Republican, and will follow the Reagan lead in cutting taxes. Got to go feed my unicorn some rainbows now. McCain might respond to pressure regarding judicial appointees the way GWBush did with Harriet Myers. Then again, with Obama, we'd be lucky to get anyone as principled, qualified, and conservative as Myers. So McCain's got that going for him. Vote McCain, or just go sahead and <i><b>aim</b></i> for your foot..... Hey, McCain PROMISES to appoint SC Justices like Alito and Scalia.

So McCain’s got that going for him.

Vote McCain, or just go sahead and aim for your foot…..

Sounds a lot like 'evolving standards' to me. What a shame the oath of office isn't punitive. Stevens “grew…”? Sounds a lot like ‘evolving standards’ to me.

Back in the 1970s, he authored the lead anti-affirmative action decision in <i>Bakke.</i> Unfortunately, he "grew" in office quite a bit since then, but I'm not sure how Ford could have seen that coming.

Reagan's record was mixed as well; three appointees and only one reliable conservative. Similarly, Eisenhower famously quipped that his two biggest mistakes were sitting on the damned Supreme Court. By contrast, JFK was the last Democrat to appoint a Justice who didn't turn out to be a reliable liberal. Republicans Presidents generally bat around .500, but Democrats bat 1.000 the other way.

Would that have been better? The "McCain case" isn't based on McCain upside, it's based on Obama downside.

The “McCain case” isn’t based on McCain upside, it’s based on Obama downside.

There's only two Democrat appointees on the court.
