Why? Some Supreme Court judges are getting older and will probably retire or die soon . If you let McCain appoint them he will put in conservative, religious white men who want to take away your rights.
Also morons, the Obama fans who said they would not vote for Hillary if she had won the nomination.
Actually what I meant was any Democrat who will cut off his nose to spite his face (not vote for Obama because he beat Hillary) is a moron.
Then that is what you should have said.
Try to recall if you can that it was that man I couldn't stand-yes, Ronald Reagan-who gave us Sandra Day O'Connor, a woman and not the most conservative member of the court while she was there-at times, less conservative than Democratic picks.
Add to this mix, the fact that while McCain if elected can put forth some conservative candidates for positions on the court, it will still have to go through the questioning process which if they are too conservative, could bring about their not becoming a Justice. Remember Robert Bork? He was expected to be a shoe-in; however he was too conservative for people to handle and was denied access.
Additionally, consider that McCain is not as white-only oriented as you may wish to believe.
Or, maybe he will line up conservative Hispanics or Blacks (remember if you will, when George H.W. Bush selected (and got him in there) Clarence Thomas in 1991)or maybe even a conservative Iraqi or maybe a conservative Japanese person in an effort to shove a choice through.
