McCain: My Supreme Court Nominees Won't "Legislate From the Bench"
(CBS)
RICHMOND, VA. -- John McCain, continuing his attempt to court conservatives, stressed that he would only appoint judges who strictly follow the Constitution to the Supreme Court if there are any vacancies during a McCain administration.
"There are estimates and, I don't know if they're true or not, that there are going to be a couple of vacancies on the Supreme Court in the next presidential term. I am proud to have played a role in the appointment of some great justices to the Court. I am very proud to have played a role in the appointment, nomination of two great Supreme Court justices Roberts and Alito," McCain said.
"I tell you I will nominate only people who have a clear, complete adherence to the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench. That's who I'll nominate to the U.S. Supreme Court," he told the crowd at the Virginial Aviation Museum tonight.
McCain also took swipes at Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for wanting to remove troops from Iraq.
"And what do the two senators who are seeking the Democratic nomination want to do? They're falling all over each other to see how quick they can withdraw these troops. My friends if we do that Al-Qaeda will trumpet to the world that they defeated the United States of America. I will not let that happen. Our troops will come home but they will come home with honor!"

Obama and Clinton are not good for society. They want to make it easier to exterminate innocent human beings through federally funded abortions.
More than 50 million little kids have been exterminated through abortions, more than all the wars and diesese combined for the last 100 years.
Those who vote for Obama and Clinton turn a blind eye away from these little children and instead look at their own selfishness desires and make up excuses as why it is acceptable to do this atrocity.
John McCain is a war hero but he doesnt have same desire as Mike Huckabee does to overturn this terriable law.
Conservatives can not allow the liberal''s to further increase this atrocity on human life.
John McCain said he would be John Kerry''s Vice President when he was running 4 years ago. John McCain just doesnt have the burning flame as Mike Huckabee does when it comes to the sanctity of human life.
Mike Huckabee has earned your respect, he has dug hard in this race even with all the great odds against him. He needs your help now with a vote so he can help out the innocent children and poor elderly people.
