OnTheRocks Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 McCain suggests former Sen. Fred Thompson yeah...the "Law & Order" guy..... McCain also offered up his own choice for a Supreme Court nominee: former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.). “I’ve always said he’s a great senator and a lousy actor,” McCain said of the man who plays the chief prosecutor on TV’s “Law & Order” series, as well as other TV and film characters. Tongue planted firmly in cheek, McCain cited Thompson’s Hollywood roles in “The Hunt for Red October,” “Law & Order” and “Baby’s Day Out” as reasons why the public would know and trust him. McCain actually launched his Thompson trial balloon Tuesday as he met with reporters after Thompson had joined Republican senators at their weekly private lunch to discuss his role in expediting the confirmation of the next Supreme Court nominee or nominees. As Thompson walked by, McCain said, “There he goes now. Supreme Court Justice Thompson is leaving.” Thompson could very well end up on the court if he follows the example of Vice President Cheney, who was in charge of the veep search committee for George W. Bush in 2000, only to end up taking the job himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 He'd be a good choice. At least we'd know he could act fair, informed and unbiased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 As part of his rulings, he should work in references to his movies... "Defendent, if you trade paint with the plaintiff one more time, you so much as touch, I'm gonna Black Flag the two of you, and tear apart your racecars for three-hundred laps."

Kelly the Dog Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Really surprising McCain thinks we should have an actor in there. Considering all he thinks about are appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
