John McCain, the late senator from Arizona, was known for his strong opinions and unwavering commitment to his beliefs. One of the areas where he was particularly vocal was in his support for Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and John Roberts. McCain made it clear, both publicly and privately, that he believed Alito and Roberts were exactly the type of justices that the Supreme Court needed.

McCain's support for Alito and Roberts was based on his belief in the importance of having justices who would interpret the Constitution as it was written and not legislate from the bench. He saw Alito and Roberts as conservative jurists who would uphold the rule of law and protect individual freedoms. McCain often praised their judicial records and their commitment to upholding the principles of the Constitution.

In a time when the Supreme Court was becoming increasingly politicized, McCain saw Alito and Roberts as a breath of fresh air. He believed that they were fair and impartial judges who would make decisions based on the law, not on their personal beliefs. McCain often spoke out against judicial activism and believed that Alito and Roberts were the antidote to this trend.

McCain's support for Alito and Roberts was not just lip service. He actively worked to ensure their confirmations to the Supreme Court, using his influence in the Senate to advocate for their nominations. McCain saw their appointments as crucial to maintaining the integrity of the judiciary and preserving the balance of power in the government.
