David Nather, writing for CQ Weekly, observes: “When he promised last week that as president he’d nominate only strict constructionists to the Supreme Court, there was one subject John McCain didn’t mention in his review of the court’s trends: the campaign finance overhaul he pushed through Congress six years ago. That’s probably just as well, because if the Arizona senator has the opportunity to pick people like Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.– he mentioned both in a speech at Wake Forest University as models for his own nominees — he probably could say goodbye to the law he wrote with Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin.”
