CBNNews.com - John McCain addresses rumors of remarks about Justice Samuel Alito, Mitt Romney, and his position on appointing judges. Watch for his response.
John McCain on rumors of remarks about Justice Alito:
I'm so proud of Justice Alito. I'm so proud of playing a role in getting his nomination through the United States Senate, he and Justice Roberts. And I've said many times that my nominees as President will be people like Roberts and Alito. They're the role model for what we're going to do when I am President of the United States because I have the greatest admiration for him and Chief Justice Roberts.
John McCain on Romney and Judges:
As you know, he made some appointments in the state of Massachusetts which were judges who did not strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States, although I guess maybe he can argue those were state judges.
Look, I'm so proud of this President for appointing Roberts and Alito, and as you know, there could be as many as two or three, in the next President's term, vacancies on the Supreme Court. I'm proud that Lindsey Graham and I, and Jon Kyl and some of the rest of us got so many judges through the United States Senate. And, of course, those two were the prime examples.
I will only appoint or nominate judges who have a clear record - not statements, but a clear record of strictly interpreting the Constitution of the United States. We all know there's been legislating from the bench that has harmed, or I think, threatened some of the fundamentals of the constitutional role of the judiciary.
