Talk by Jeffrey Toobin translating for normal people what McCain was saying in code to “the base” and Roe v Wade (John McCain wins – Roe is out).<\/p>\n

Cases mentioned:<\/p>\n

Roe v Wade<\/a> – this is [the] one case that Governor Palin also does not like. <\/p>\n

Ropper v. Simmons 543 U.S. 551 (2005)<\/a> – executing minors is “cruel and unusual punishment” prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. <\/p>\n

And Biden and Palin on Roe v Wade. At least both Biden and Palin agree there is right to privacy in the constitution (although I think only one understands how that right relates to Roe v Wade, and it is not Palin).<\/p>\n

\n

Of course if you want real straight talk on pro-life, here is Mike….<\/p>\n

Mike Huckabee on overturning Roe v Wade, as a first step. He will not be president, but at least he still explicitly states what he believes — even if you disagree with it. Makes McCain and Palin look like compromisers with their should be decided by the states viewpoint.<\/p>\n

\n

Who would McCain NOT no
\nminate…<\/p>\n

McCain sayin he would not have nominated Ginsburg. Breyer, Souter and Stevens that said he voted to confirm Ginsburg. Breyer and Souter (he was not a senator when Justice Stevens was nominated, but he surely would have supported him as well). That said there is a difference between nominating and confirming.<\/p>\n

Alito, Roberts he gives thumbs up. Thomas and Scalia ???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
