An Up or Down Vote? Yeah Right!

Senator John McCain [R-AZ] is quoted on Drudge as saying at a Dallas fundraiser the following on a Supreme Court nomination:
During the campaign, President Bush said he will appoint judges who will strictly interpret the constitution... thinking anything else is either amnesia or ignorance... elections have consequences... whomever he nominates deserves an up or down vote and no filibuster... and an up or down vote is what we will have...

First off, who are we kidding here? There isn't going to be any "up or down" vote. The Senate liberals are going to filibuster any nomination Bush puts forward until the cows come home. Secondly, since when has McCain become a good guy again? He's been on the other side of the aisle for so long now I forgot he was a Republican. Looks like somebody has his eye set on the presidential bid for '08...

Mark my words, this S.C. nomination is going to be war. There will be no up or down vote -- I guarantee it.

I agree on the point that McCain will seek the presidential nomination for '08. I will probably vote for a democrat before I vote for a wishy-washy Senator who hides behind the Republican banner.
