I intend to nominate judges who have proven themselves worthy of our trust that they take as their sole responsibility the enforcement of laws made by the people’s elected representatives, judges of the character and quality of Justices Roberts and Alito, judges who can be relied upon to respect the values of the people whose rights, laws and property they are sworn to defend.
Funny, I don’t see the word “constitution” here. As I read this, it says: I have a litmus test. I won’t appoint any Justice who might overturn McCain-Feingold or otherwise apply the constitution to rein in whatever lawmakers care to do.
Seems to me, McCain is taking the conservatives for idiots.
