debate, but what _did_ John McCain mean in this exchange about Supreme Court nominees? > SCHIEFFER: But even if it was someone — even someone who had a > history of being for abortion
rights, you would consider them? > > MCCAIN: I would consider anyone in their qualifications. I do not > believe that someone who has supported _Roe v. Wade_ that would be >
part of those qualifications. But I certainly would not impose any > litmus test. First, he’d consider anyone “in their qualifications.” Then he says that support for _Roe v. Wade_ would
be a qualification that would cause him to reject a candidate. But then he says there’s no litmus test. What did that mean? Just random incoherence? Or is there some subtlety I’m missing?
