Obama on Supreme Court justices
August 16, 2008
It is important to note that Obama confirmed he would not nominate either Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia. He says that John Roberts “actions” confirm his “no” vote.
So, by implication, Obama will nominate a Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Contrast this with John McCain’s insistence he will nominate a Scalia and Thomas. Conservatives need to take note. Liberal nominees will be the rule of the day in an Obama administration.
One other point. Obama is the last person to criticize the “lack of experience” of Clarence Thomas. Obama has less experience running for President than Thomas did when nominated for the bench. Remember that Thomas had extensive experience in legal branches of the government prior to being nominated.
