DU post:12. because were not gonna get any better he's a wild card and is definitly capable of moving to the left over time.(like souter & kennedy have) he does not appear to be a knee jerk wacko like thomas and scalia. he is capable of thinking unlike those two. fact is hes going to be confirmed so lets not drag it out and get back to beating up on rove

A rare event has occured. A post at DU has some teeth to it. Unfortunately, this person is correct. Roberts does have a Souter-O'Connor-Kennedy smell about him. What we should all be conerned about is that Bush did NOT pick a conservative. It looks like he picked somebody "confirmable". Souter was "conformable". O'Connor was "confirmable". Kennedy was "confirmable".

We all can add 2 + 2. This is not good news.

To avoid Luttig or Brown (or even Estrada) should anger us. Bush was elected twice, and the Republicans gained seats in the elections. Just why, Mr. President, are you afraid to nominate a true conservative?

" To avoid Luttig or Brown (or even Estrada) should anger us."

I'm more angered by Republicans who throw mud mindlessly. Look at his record. He has written some opinions (few). He has an environment record on coal energy (very conservative) and abortions (supreme court made a mistake).

If you don't think he is conservative enough site examples, otherwise you just sound like a Bush hater.

He did. He nominated John Roberts.
