2008 Presidential Candidates

How about a little 'Law and Order?'

As a FredHead, I am very proud and encouraged to share the news that Senator Fred Thompson will play a key role in choosing Supreme Court nominees should John McCain become our 44th President. This information comes from Human Events:

"In a McCain administration, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson would play a
dominant role in selecting Supreme Court nominees and other judicial
appointments, sources close to the McCain campaign and to Thompson tell us.

And why is Fred suddenly everywhere? These sources say that the
agreement between McCain and Thompson is behind Thompson’s resurgence in the
national media in recent weeks. In a McCain campaign conference call with
reporters yesterday on last week’s Supreme Court decision on terrorist detainees
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Thompson -- without claiming such status -- played the
role of a prominent McCain adviser."

I know that there are many Conservatives that have been concerned with McCain, especially concerning what kind of Supreme Court Justices that he could appoint, considering his involvement in the Gang of 14. Knowing that Senator Thompson will be advising on this issue brings me much peace of mind.

One of the many reasons that I strongly supported Fred Thompson for President during the Primary season was his promise to appoint strict Constitutionalist judges to the Supreme Court. I expect that he would keep that promise in advising John McCain. Fred would certainly recommend judges that would uphold the Constitution and interpret the law, rather than legislate from the bench.

Fair, balanced Constitutionalist judges are exactly the kind of judges that are needed in the Supreme Court. We've all seen what can happen when Liberal activist judges take the wheel--we end up with catastrophes like Roe V. Wade, overturning of the Gay Marriage Ban in Californina, and the California Supreme Court ruling that "parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children."

I miss Fred as a candidate and still believe that he would have made a great President. He's a true Reagan Conservative and is truly an asset to the McCain team in any capacity.
