Elections Have Consequences


Bless his heart, John McCain just explained why the Democratic Party needs to unite behind Barack Obama, the presumptive nominee. What did he say that leads me to say that?

Speaking of his plans to appoint conservative justices to the Supreme Court McCain said, "Elections have consequences. One of the consequences is the president of the United States gets to name his or her nominees to the bench."

Read this article and notice the names of the personalities that McCain is gathering around him to help him select Supreme Court nominees. Ted Olson? Hmm, argued Bush v. Gore in front of the compliant Supreme Court. The others? A who's who of Conservative legal minds. So is McCain a "maverick"? or a huckster.

I vote for the second.
