Goofs Edit
Gov. Ray Sullivan tells the pro-life representative that he always appointed pro-life judges while he was Governor of West Virginia and will have the same point of view when he becomes Vice President. But real judges in West Virginia are not appointed; they are elected.
Quotes Edit
Senator Arnold Vinick: He's what wrong with this party. Not me.... The United States Senate gets to advice and consent on judges, not the clergy.
Bruno: First one to go negative is a show of weakness.
