In his latest attempt to shore up the conservative side of the Republican base John McCain said he would use Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito as "the model for my own nominees if that responsibility falls to me."

I think could go on for quite a while but Jess McCabe at the f word has a great response that will more than suffice.
