Schumer is also a member of the Judiciary Committee.

A short statement that shows a HUGE PROBLEM in the Congress...

Basically, if too many vote against Roberts, then whatever they do on the next one will look partisan (because it will be, but they don't want it to *look* that way).

If they vote for him because he'll pass anyway, that will give them (in their own minds) a little more lattitude.

[No Longer Free State]

The dimocrats are smarter than their special interest groups. They know that if they go party-line (or anything close to it) against a guy as clearly, completely, and competently qualified as Roberts, that the'll never be listened to again. Bush will be able to appoint any judge, including one that's as far right-wing as the moonbats claim Roberts to be, and nobody will listen to them when they object.

"Never once have Democrats benefited from attempts at reasonableness and compromise and accommodation," said Jim Jordan, former executive director of the party's senatorial committee.

Oh come on, Jimmy; get real. I can't think of even ONE "attempt at reasonableness and compromise and accommodation" from these bozo dems.

[Republican Red]

Gee, what about voting for or against the candidate based on ability to fullfil the job.

Democrats make a Wellstone Memorial over every issue no matter how big or how small.

[Reactionary]

The abortion Nazis, the race hustlers and poverty pimps and the envirofascists aren't going to let the "Democrats" off easy on this one.

I expect they'll make long speeches to try to create the impression that Roberts is really Adolf Hitler.

Whatever Democrats decide, Roberts' confirmation to succeed the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist is all but secured, given widespread, possibly unanimous support among the Senate's 55 Republicans. -DAVID ESPO, Associated Press Writer

This sentence struck me as strange. Is that the reason confirmation is secured, not because his qualifications are outstanding? Not because a naked party-line vote against him would be a travesty?

Notice that the various calculations of the democrats reasoning never consider what the best is for the citizens of the US.
