Good article here from the Conservative Voice comparing Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee's record on nominating solid, conservative judges.
On Romney:
"Mitt Romney's record in Massachusetts on judicial nominations is abysmal. His conduct was either an abdication of duty or a complete disregard of the importance of a governor's role in that state's nominations process."
On Huckabee:
"By contrast, Governor Huckabee not only left the Arkansas judiciary better than he found it, but he also vigorously supported the President's Arkansas nominees to the federal bench. Excellent nominees, like Leon Holmes who Democrats obstructed for years. As soon as Holmes was confirmed, colleagues elected him Chief Judge."
Good article...the courts are the primary battlefields of the sanctity of life debate right now. This is the primary area of influence that a president has over these issues, along with a host of other constitutional issues. Chances are the next president will nominate at least one if not multiple Supreme Court justices whose influence will extend far beyond any presidential term. When you stack them up the Romney-labeled "liberal" Huckabee shines in this area whereas Romney has, as the article states, an "abysmal" record. More on Romney's record in this area can be found here.
