What Does the Palin Pick Say About McCain’s Judgement?

The worry is over for social and fiscal Conservatives alike. The GOP presumptive Nominee has selected a social and fiscal Conservative to join him on the ticket. But what does this say about his judgement?

To me it says that he recognizes that he cannot get elected to the highest office in the land without us. To me it says that he will keep his promise to appoint judges in the mold of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Sam Alito. These are the lasting impact of any President for what is the true legacy? Only federal judge appointments and Supreme Court appointments have the lasting impact. Laws and policy can be overturned by the agenda of a succeeding President. But, the federal judiciary is where a President has his lasting say. We are still dealing with a Ford appointment (John Paul Stevens) who has turned out to be one of THE worst appointments ever in the history of the court.

During the next President’s term, there will likely be 2 vacancies on the Supreme Court. Ginsburg will likely retire and Stevens, if he doesn’t retire, is a fugitive from the graveyard (he’s 88). McCain would have a chance to replace 2 liberals on the court with 2 Conservatives. What an opportunity!

With this appointment, McCain has shown that he will do what he says in the appointment of traditionalist judges. That is what the Palin pick says about McCain’s judgement.
