As for how bipartisan Mr. Bush is likely to be in nominating and seeking confirmation of Supreme Court justices, McCain offered, "I believe what he'll probably do is at least make an attempt to sit down with the Democrats and talk about different nominees.
"I've seen the process work both ways: one that's terribly controversial with blood all over the place after it was over, or building kind of a consensus and then having a relatively easy process. I think if the president brings in the Democrats, which he will, and talks about some of his nominees, I think there is every prospect that during the president's honeymoon for the first year or so, that we could probably get something done that way without some kind of revisiting of some of the real tough ones like Clarence Thomas."
