If Mitt Romney has the opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court justice, will he choose someone in the mode of John Roberts?

I don't know-- I don't know if Romney knows. We all know how things can change once someone is appointed to the Supreme Court.

This is the sort of answer I would expect to any question about a specific Romney policy. Nobody knows. Romney doesn't even know.

This is what Romney's website says on the issue. I'm a lawyer and it works for me:

Mitt Romney’s view of the Constitution is straightforward: its words have meaning. The founding generation adopted a written constitution for a reason. They intended to limit the powers of government according to enduring principles. The job of the judge is to enforce the Constitution’s restraints on government and, where the Constitution does not speak, to leave the governance of the nation to elected representatives.

At times over the past hundred years, some justices of the Supreme Court did not carry out that duty. There were occasions when the Supreme Court declined to enforce the restrictions on power the Framers had so carefully enumerated. At other points, the Court created entirely new constitutional rights out of “penumbras” and “emanations” of the Constitution, abandoning serious analysis of the Constitution’s text, structure, and history.

Mitt believes in the rule of law, and he understands that the next president will make nominations that will shape the Supreme Court and the whole of the judiciary for decades to come. He will therefore appoint wise, experienced, and restrained judges who will take seriously their oath to discharge their duties impartially in accordance with the Constitution and laws — not their own personal policy preferences.

As president, Mitt will nominate judges in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. These justices hold dear what the great Chief Justice John Marshall called “the basis on which the whole American fabric has been erected”: a written Constitution, with real and determinate meaning. The judges that Mitt nominates will exhibit a genuine appreciation for the text, structure, and history of our Constitution and interpret the Constitution and the laws as they are written. And his nominees will possess a demonstrated record of adherence to these core principles.

Yes, they follow in the likes of former Justice Tanney. It only works if you are a white male who owns land and slaves.

Yes.

Are you living in iran , no one is taking away or wants to be involved with your vagina. you are very obsessed to think the world rotates around your vagina.

You are a simpleton that cannot see around your vagina and can't see or understanding bigger and more crucial issues that really exist.

Actually, unfortunately it is the Republicans who seem to be obsessed with the vagina. But keep trying to blame the victims, it's so consistent with the rest of your platform.

Please ask the Republicans to focus soley on the bigger and more crucial issues that really exist.

Why don't you compare the number of Americans killed defeating Qaddafi to the number of Americans killed in Bush's invasion of Iraq. Then, let's have a discussion about who is capable of winning a war.

Bush said he didn't care very much about OBL. Romney said, "It’s Not Worth Moving Heaven And Earth And Spending Billions Of Dollars Just Trying To Catch One Person."

When Obama said that if he had actionable intelligence about the location of OBL, he would deploy forces to an allied country to attack him, Romney said, "I Do Not Concur In The Words Of Barack Obama To Enter An Ally Of Ours."

Yeah, Obama didn't win that one, did he?

They got lucky on that very lucky and they know it and so do you. None of the past presidents could catch him, not one would give one credit for getting it done.

You know what they say, "you make your own luck." Obama explicitly said that if he had actionable intelligence, he would not hesitate to enter an allied country to get OBL. When he became President, he raised the priority of going after OBL. Sure, most intelligence operations involve a certain amount of luck, but the break wouldn't have come if the US hadn't been trying. Both Bush and Romney down-played getting OBL. Romney explicitly criticized Obama for his stated policy of being willing to enter an allied nation. When the time came, Obama did what he said that he would do. You are putting a lot of faith in Romney being a liar and doing what he said he wouldn't do. I'll grant you, it's a good bet that Romney is lying anytime he is talking. But, Obama made his own luck. Everyone should give him credit for that.

It must be very hard being you and living with that shriveling heart. You refuse to give credit is credit is due, yet you have no problem casting blame.

He may have a shriveling heart, but he scored ONE HUNDRED PERCENT on his reading comprehension on the PSATs! So, we all should suck up to his font of wisdom.

No Republican was going to get lucky by looking in the wrong country. Come to think of it, they have a problem with looking in the wrong countries, don't they?

And to the point of past presidents, in fact George Bush did give Obama credit. He wrote a pretty effusive statement. I believe his words were "everlasting gratitude" to Obama and the soldiers who got Bin Laden. Cheney congratulated Obama and the national security team. So did Clinton.

After that the GOP started turning it into a credit grabbing exercise and honest opinions became rarer than hen's teeth.

So The presidents and VP give credit, while the pp just stews in his self-serving jealousy.

Can any of you tell us how R/R will improve any of the above? And please be specific. Why is it that all of the republican PPs have only replied with snarky comments and/or the Official List of Republican Talking Points. We cannot have a conversation with you if you are not specific.

So please tell us - how will R/R improve economy, debt, jobs, school choice? How did 8 years of bush improve any of these? If they were successful in repealing Obamacare, why is that a good thing. What's wrong with Obamacare.

Also, if you reply to my questions, please take a few minutes to fact check your argument before posting. But skip over the conservative sources. That's not fact checking.

You guys really need to read the book "What's the Matter with Kansas." It would be an eye opener. You won't do it, so I will just tell you that it points out the fact that republicans consistently vote against their own best interest. It is bizarre and truly disturbing.

Romney will support the interest of big business, Wall Street, and the super rich. His presidency will put the struggling middle class into utter peril. On top of that he has picked a running mate who is Neanderthal on the abortion issue.

I can't imagine many people beyond 1%ers and pro-lifers voting for Romney.

p.s. "What's the Matter with Kansas" is an excellent read.

10:15 - I would be interested in someone trying to intelligently persuade me to vote for Romney/Ryan too. I was a hardcore Obama supporter four years ago because I believe (and actually still believe) that the way he sees the future of America is truly the country I would want to live in. Obviously he can't get everything done that would be exactly the way he wanted, but I hear nothing from R/R that speaks to me in the least. Honestly everything they say sounds backwards. Sounds like regression rather than progress.

I also really don't understand what's so wrong with Obamacare. It has only benefited my family and me thus far.

I would love to hear about what R/R are going to do about the economy, debt, jobs, school choice, and healthcare that are going to be better and work so well.
