Ted Olson, Conservative Jurist, Backs McCain

Ted Olson, a former Republican Solicitor General under President George Bush, is a big catch for McCain because Olson's credentials as a conservative jurist are impeccable. Olson will co-chair the McCain Judicial Advisory Committee, which will give input on whom McCain appoints to federal courts, including the Supreme Court. The other co-chair is Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, a leading pro-life Catholic politician. Here is Olson on McCain:

John McCain has a deep-rooted conservative philosophy and I trust him to appoint strict constructionists, like Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito, to judicial positions.
