McCain Assures Town Hall That Death Stalks The Supreme Court Justices

Earlier today, John McCain gave one of his famous Straight Talk Express Town Hall Extravaganza Applesauce Chat Revival Shows in York, Pennsylvania, and during the Q&A section, said something jarring with regard to his "conservative stance" on issues. Seeking to reassure the questioner that he has only the best intentions for fans of hardcore conservative judicial activism, he told the questioner that there were going to be two-to-three vacancies on the Supreme Court soon. This was, in McCain's words, "According to people who decide these things."

But SCOTUS justices have lifetime appointments! So, who are "people" that "decide these things?" Absent any other explanation, one has to assume that McCain is in close contact with the Grim Reaper himself. It makes me wonder what McCain knows of the plans that Pestilence and Famine have for America between now and the year 2013. Naturally, you can pretty much assume that McCain is following War on Twitter.

So – that's two McCain knows. Death for the SCOTUS, War for Iran. Wonder what taskings he has for Famine and pestilence? Or maybe they are still busy in Darfur.

Don't forget the big one with Russia ... maybe China if they don't stop looking like "gooks."

I am a McCain hater, but obviously he was referring to political pundits.

But it is a fact that Roe v Wade will be history if he is elected.

Politcal pundits don't typically decide when a Supreme Court justice resigns or dies.

Take out stock in wire coat-hanger manufacturers. It'll be the only form of birth control available.

Quote of the day "Absent any other explanation" that's all we get with McSame "The absence of details and substance!

McCain worst than Bush!

[RatgurlSD]

Wow! Mighty bold words coming from the underdog. I wouldn't want to be a SCOTUS right now, lest I start fearing for my life!

Maybe they should hire some personal security - at least until the election is over with.

He's a creepy old vulture, obsessed with his 'time left'.

[LazarusLong]

The guy doesn't even understand how our Supreme Court works.

Great.

There just are no words and no excuse for the level of ignorance this man displays.
