McCain highlights judicial appointments

[Forkboy]

John McCain picked a key Democratic primary day and one of the states voting to declare this morning that he would appoint federal judges who would not make law.

The presumptive Republican nominee promised to appoint justices to the Supreme Court in the mold of Chief Justice John Roberts, and criticized both Democratic contenders for voting against Roberts tin the Senate.

"They are both lawyers themselves, and don't seem to mind at all when fundamental questions of social policy are preemptively decided by judges instead of by the people and their elected representatives. Nor have they raised objections to the unfair treatment of judicial nominees. For both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton, it turned out that not even John Roberts was quite good enough for them."

McCain said the proper role of the judiciary is a key issue in the presidential race.

"For decades now, some federal judges have taken it upon themselves to pronounce and rule on matters that were never intended to be heard in courts or decided by judges," McCain said at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C.

4. This is what it's all about.

We simply cannot afford to let McCain appoint any judges. We must take the Presidency.
