Comments on: McCain Sings Same Old GOP Song On Justices

Andrew Cohen: Republican Presidential Nominee Parrots Party Lines Bashing Judges

[mbcsmith]

There needs to be an amendment to the Constitution that will allow impeachment of Supreme Court justices. This partisan court has shown the error of entrusting a group of judges with lifetime power over the American judicial system. There needs to be accountability. Then Repub/Neocons have no respect for the judicial system, except as a tool for maintaining power to their advantage.

Just so you can get it straight.

Man, he wants to win BAD, doesn''t he? I had a lot more respect for him when he was running against Geo.Bush -- now he is one.

T GOP has certainly become the grand OLD party. Maybe he''ll get the grandpa vote.

I''ve already decided the past few years that Republicans would never receive my vote in any election for the White House or Congress. These people have no commitment to respect truth or reason. It''s all about winning for their narrow points of view and special interests, nothing at all about the greater good of society. They are a political creature that represents a clear and present danger to the Republic.

I''ve done very well these last seven and a half years. I wouldn''t mind a hundred years of this.

McBush only has to keep his base: the press to win. They are more than happy to help prop him up and slam any Dem candidate as we''ve seen.

Chris Mathews: "The press loves John McCain. We''re his base!"

[j-whitman]

John McCain offered his supporters - and/or the conservative wing of his party - only more of the same tired and empty rhetoric that has come over the past few decades to mark the mindless partisanship

"MORE OF THE SAME"

[oscarez]

The USA has two class of people. The Republican ruling class and the tax paying working class. McCain is just pointing out that we, the working class, need the ruling class to do all our thinking (just shut up and pay your taxes). I don''t believe that John McCain really expects to be president.

Considering the mood of the country where 75 to 80% say we are on the wrong road and the backlash from the problems the ultra right has caused, I cannot see the dino Mac has much chance of being in a position to appoint anyone.

Everytime he opens his mouth he comes out with something that only goes to show that he is as out of touch with Americans and shrub has ever been!

The majority of Americans DO NOT want a bunch of conservative right wingers as judges who support big business and care nothing for today''s problems.

McCains answer to the overwhelming problems of the Afghan and Iraq wars is to suggest we need to be there another 100 years, and oh yeah, lets compound the problem with bombing Iran.

What a complete moron he is!

This is all you got?

Well, you guys have the right to be critical of McCain or of conservatives. But the fact is, I oppose the war, I think Bush is a poor President, and I will still vote for McCain ... and it''s entirely becuase of his commitment to appointing conservative justices. And there are millions more like me.

The damage done to our nation by activist judges, who claim the right to ''interpret'' the Constitution far beyond anything resembling its meaning, is serious and far-reaching. Roe v. Wade, affirmative action, property being taken away on specious ''environmental'' grounds - these are all things that millions of Americans hate, even when they can''t agree on much else. The media doesn''t like the fact that these court decisions are resented by the common man, but the fact is, they are. And that''s what drives a lot of Republican voting.

You can complain about it all you want, you have the right to hold your opinion. But after November''s election, don''t get angry if the Republicans win. They are listening to the voters (on THIS issue, at least) and giving them what they want, while Democrats are telling the voters what they SHOULD want.

This locks my anyone but a Republican vote. When it comes to activism from the court, this Supreme Court is truly in the extreme. Not in defending democracy but in tearing it out at the roots. Third world petty dictators would love to have this current court. Matter of fact most Republicans would like to do away with both Congress and the Supreme Court and annoint the Bush clan as God''s chosen leaders for a Christian America. King George the Idiot followed by Prince Jeb - what a ghastly thought!
