Well, Arizona Senator John McCain has finally stepped up to the bar in the debate over filling Supreme Court vacancies. I just found the following over at the Drudge Report:

Sen. McCain [R-AZ] Strong Words On Supreme Ct Nomination at Dallas Fundraiser: 'During the campaign, President Bush said he will appoint judges who will strictly interpret the constitution... thinking anything else is either amnesia or ignorance... elections have consequences... whomever he nominates deserves an up or down vote and no filibuster... and an up or down vote is what we will have'...

It's about time! I've never been a big fan of McCain, but at least, from time to time, he does stand for something.
