Like most Democrats, I think Wesley Clark is probably the only candidate who will be able to defeat Bush next year. I think most of his ideas fall into the common sense category (at least from what I’ve have heard so far). What I still don’t know: what _exactly_ are his views on judicial nominees? Moreover, would he nominate judges that support _Roe v. Wade_, or does he even care one way or another about this? This as you know is a very important issue to most Democrats.

This is a factual question insofar as I was hoping someone could provide a link or even a quote from the general himself.

I’m not sure what you mean by views on Judicial Nominees. He is not yet a politican, so he hasn’t voted yet to confirm any Supreme Court Justices, the above website should give you some idea on issues by which he would judge any potential nominees however.
