McCain Calls For A Right Wing Supreme Court

From an e-mail sent by John McCain today to his supporters:

If one of my Democratic opponents is elected in November, you can rest assured that given the opportunity to appoint judges, they will appoint those who make law with disregard for the will of the people.

There may be at least two vacancies on the United States Supreme Court during the next presidential term. As president, I will ensure that only those judges who strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States are appointed. I will nominate judges who understand that their role is to faithfully apply the law as written, not impose their will through judicial fiat.

All of that is the exact code employed by the extreme Right Wing to mean it supports right wing justices like Roberts, Scalia, and Alito. "Strictly interpret the Constitution" is one way of saying that African Americans should count as 3/5s of a person and women shouldn't be allowed to vote or own land. If it is "judicial activism" that McCain and the wing nuts oppose, then they absolutely must oppose (for example) civil rights in all of it's forms.

I wrote a bit about this issue last week and posted a video snippet of an amazing fictional snipe at the Supreme Court, please check out both here.
