Reply #81: The President nominates judges to the Supreme Court [View All]

The President nominates judges to the Supreme Court. Sometimes these Supreme Court nominations can be the most lasting legacy of a President.

Give a Presidential candidate 'a pass' on basic questions about due process and the right to a fair trial?
I don't think so.

Just so you know, I am serious about these questions. I didn't know much about Dean till recently. The buzz sounded good. I've been a fan of Kerry's for many years so I knew who I wanted but I was happy that Dean seemed like the most likely other nominee -- until I read this stuff. If Dean were to address this, to say something that indicated that the impression I've gotten from this stuff is wrong, I'd be very happy.
