One other reason to vote for McCain
That makes two. National security is number one. Anyone come up with three?
Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters says: "At least two Supreme Court justices will likely leave in the next four years, both of them from the Left, John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The election will determine whether the court continues to turn in a more constructionist direction, forcing policy back to Congress where it belongs, or whether activists can outlast the constructionists. Jurists nominated by Obama or Hillary will have a much different idea of the Supreme Court's role than those nominated by McCain."
I'm still of the opinion that the Supreme Court shouldn't be making law. That's how the left sneaks around the will of the people, but we elect Representatives and Senators to make law, not just so they have a playground to go out and run for President.

I’m still stuck on only one reason to vote for McCain, that being national security, and maybe that’s reason enough to vote for him but I’m not willing to commit yet. Judicial appointments would be a good reason to vote for him, if I believed he would appoint judicial conservatives. But I don’t believe it. Consider that the Senate will likely be majority Democrat after this year’s election; therefore, McCain cannot make an appointment without Democrat help. This will be particularly true if the retiree is Ginsburg or Stevens because they are liberal icons and the Dems will fight to the death to keep them from being replaced by a conservative, and we’ll hear lots from the media about how important it is to keep a “balance” on the court. So, what will McCain do? He will do what he has done in the past, he will make a deal with the Dems, this time Patrick Leahy, and I predict we’ll get another David Souter or if we are very lucky another Anthony Kennedy. In summary then, I’m still looking for anther reason to vote for McCain, so keep trying. I’ll keep reading.
