John McCain has responded to reports that he might not appoint judges like Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court because - and here I'm not sure whom the author of the report is quoting - Alito "wore his conservatism on his sleeve." McCain tells National Review's Byron York that
I've said a thousand times on this campaign trail, I've said as often as I can, that I want to find clones of Alito and Roberts. I worked as hard as anybody to get them confirmed. I look you in the eye and tell you I've said a thousand times that I wanted Alito and Roberts. I have told anybody who will listen. I flat-out tell you I will have people as close to Roberts and Alito [as possible], and I am proud of my record of working to get them confirmed, and people who worked to get them confirmed will tell you how hard I worked.
Sounds like he really wants to tell you that he likes Alito!
