Former Reagan solicitor general Charles Fried is voting for Obama because of Palin.

Does anyone pay any attention to Obama and his veep? This election isn’t all about what you think about Sarah Palin, after all.

It strikes me as simply unserious to consider the judiciary an important issue and go Obama. Doesn’t Joe Biden oppose Fried’s judicial philopsophy? Does Charles Fried remember what Biden said about John Roberts?

Concerning John Roberts, Senator Biden, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, said, “I have serious doubts that Judge Roberts will fall into the category of the justices from Chief Justice Marshall to Souter, Kennedy, Ginsburg, O’Connor, who look at the Constitution, quoting Marshall, as a Constitution intended to endure for the ages to come, and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs. That’s an expanding document.” Sen. Biden went on to note that he had “closely reviewed Judge Roberts’ past writings as a political appointee and a government lawyer, his personal statements and commentaries during his tenure in private practice and his testimony before this committee.” After considering all of this, Sen. Biden voted “no” as did Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama.
