Recently Gary Bauer claimed John McCain had privately told him in 2000 that he would appoint pro-life judges to the courts as president. Then Governor Bush had told Bauer he has “no litmus test” for judges.

Appearing on CNN’s Late Edition on Sunday, McCain was asked about the rumored exchange with Bauer. He responded, “First of all, it was a private conversation. I won't talk about it. But I can tell you that there would be not litmus test for a judge if I were president of the United States. And obviously I'm going to wait a couple of years before I even make that decision.”
