The Gore/Kerry Court On Capitol Punishment And Gun Control

Had Al Gore or John Kerry been elected president, Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito would not be on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Were that the case, two activist justices named by either Al Gore or John Kerry would presently be sitting on the bench.

The Court would have ruled that Kentucky’s Lethal Injection system for capitol punishment is cruel and unusual punishment, and the DC Gun Control Law would be affirmed.

Barely mentioned so far at this stage of the campaign, the future make-up of the Supreme Court of the United States for decades to come will hang on who wins the presidency
.
Food for thought as the general election approaches.

McCain will nominate whoever the Democrats want him to.  I see this election as a total loss on judges just as it’s a loss on immigration and global warming.

All that really qualifies McCain as remotely conservative is his stances on earmarks and winning Iraq.

Kenny:  You are so right about Senator McCain’s stance on earmarks and winning the war, but you left out conservative judges, right to life, anti-gun control, balanced budgets, no new or higher taxes, and no affirmative action, among others.

Or would you really prefer Obama or Clinton in the White House?

The stakes are high. Whether the issue is the economy, or energy, or the federal courts or national security, the right answers are coming not from the Democrats, but from the Republicans. The surge of operations that began a year ago is succeeding. The only way to lose this fight is to quit. Richard M. Cheney, Vice President, 30 May, 2008
