Stark Contrasts Between McCain and Obama in Judicial Wars

In a New York Times Editorial, Neil Lewis analyzes the different judicial philosophies of Senator's McCain and Obama. The analysis begins with each candidate's opinion regarding the appointment and confirmation of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito and Senator McCain's commitment to appoint conservative justices to the bunch. His analysis includes possible appointees of both candidates, which also exhibit each candidate's philosophy, such as 9th Circuit Judge Alex Koczinski by Senator McCain and Massachusetts Governor Daniel Patrick by Senator Obama.

"On March 3, Mr. Obama spoke of what he would look for in a Supreme Court
justice and held up Earl Warren, a former governor of California and the former
chief justice, as an example."
"I want people on the bench who have enough empathy, enough feeling, for what ordinary people are going through." - Senator Barack Obama
