Toobin is very astute and has been fair in the past. He asserts there is no reason to believe McCain will be a 'maverick' in his Court selections, as his support for previous strict constructionist justices indicates, and as he would probably like to satisfy the right-wing of his party here. In discussing Roper, and using the codewords 'penumbras' and 'emanations,' McCain implies, according to Toobin, he will appoint justices who look poorly on Warren Court precedent back to Griswold, not to mention its antecedents in Roe and Casey. Finally, Toobin reminds the reader that the 'living Constitution' wing of the Court (including Stevens, Ginsburg and Souter) are all possibilities to step down in the next presidential term, elevating this to one of the critical issues of the entire campaign. Thorough and fair, using McCain's own clear words to explain where he very likely intends to take the Supreme Court as quickly as possible.
