The President and Judicial Appointments

Conservatives are told that we have to vote for McCain even though his convictions are more in line with Barrack Obama than Ronald Reagan. The one area that seems to be a huge argument is in the arena of judicial appointments, especially on the Supreme Court.

Let's examine the record of Republican Presidents and Supreme Court appointments:

• Dwight Eisenhower gave us Earl Warren, who wound up being very far to the left. (Roe v. Wade.)
• Gerald Ford gave us John Paul Stevens, who was not as far left as Warren, but just the same votes liberal.
• George H. W. Bush gave us David Souter. He did give us Clarence Thomas.
  
• Even the great Ronald Reagan gave us Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor. Sure he gave us Antonin Scalia (who should be Chief Justice).

A President McCain is not guarantee that justices will be conservative. In fact, he is one of the Gang of 14 that sold George W. Bush's conservative nominees down the river.
