"Barack Obama has made his first personnel decision. For anyone concerned about the threat to the country and the Constitution from a liberal activist judiciary this is not a comforting choice. Obama might as well have picked Ted Kennedy when it comes to the future of the Supreme Court. With his Senate Judiciary Committee ally Kennedy, Biden has tried to kill the nominations of outstanding Justices for two decades with distortion, innuendo, and demagoguery. Other than Kennedy, no one has been a more willing instrument of the far left liberal pressure groups to try to undermine highly qualified judicial nominees who practice judicial restraint like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito. This only sharpens the contrast between McCain and Obama with respect to judges."
