This week, the president announced his intention to nominate John Roberts to be a Supreme Court justice.
His nomination has been met with widespread praise, from left and right. Nevertheless, there are some who have raised complaints that his two years on the bench provide insufficient record for them to assess (and attack) his jurisprudence.
That complaint misses the mark for three reasons.

Roberts has turned out to be a disappointment as a
‘conservative’ he hid his left of center believes well.
When the pick was announced, everyone here at FR, gave it thumbs up. No one thought Roberts would become a turncoat that he is, so your little hit piece on Cruz is BS.
Nearly everyone here also supported Roberts in 2005.
Did you support him in 2005?
What was your name here then?
But Ted said he didn’t back him and wouldn’t have nominated him?
Liar.
Hey noob, I know your time here at FR can be measured in months so you are probably utterly clueless....but EVERYONE here at FR thought the Roberts selection was a great choice. I literally do not recall a single person objecting to his selection. All of FR was ecstatic after the Harriet Meyers debacle. So we can’t hardly fault Cruz for making the same determination, now can we? So you can take your hindsight’s 20/20 BS and shove it.
Umm no he’s not said that....just the crazy ass deranged trumpeters say that
Hold on. Ted explicitly said he didn’t back him and would not have nominated him. That’s a tad revisionist, don’t you think?
He said it last night. I was watching the debate.
that is just what we need, another justice with a short record. Think Kennedy and Souter.
We must not let this be about Cruz or Trump. We don’t have that luxury anymore. I say this as a Cruz supporter. We must focus, unite as a movement (conservatism) to STOP the SC nomination of Obama. It doesn’t matter who he nominates, whomever it is, we know already it will be someone unacceptable. No vetting required.
We must stop the infighting; we must focus now on calling our Senators, tearing up the phone lines and filling up inboxes. I realize they are on recess, but it must be done. They are only on recess for a week (next week). We must focus on the Senate, harassing them with as much fervor as we can muster, as much tenacity as we have expressed towards our “enemy” candidate (whomever that might be, be it Cruz or Trump). We must focus that energy on stopping Obama.
The death of Scalia is indeed a game changer. It’s time to unite now, even though the primaries aren’t over. It’s time to stop focusing on “our” candidate, and start focusing on stopping Obama’s wretched plan. We thought we could ignore him now, but Scalia’s death changes this. He still can do tremendous damage. He must be stopped. We can’t do it if we are too busy fighting for “our” candidate.
Obama is most likely going to nominate someone on Tuesday. We must be prepared to fight this on a united front. He will claim that he’s making a “recess appointment” so no Senate confirmation will be required. He will then try to bully the Senate into accepting this. We must not let this happen. We must focus on fighting HIM now, not each other.
The Left has shown they can unite when needed; it’s time we do the same!
Which side is Cruz on?
You can trust a President Cruz to make the right call on nominees. Just look at his legal record. Trump? His legal nominees will confirm(expose) his true beliefs. Too risky.
Wrong thread, that.
PING
Now you are the liar Jimbo...
A worse-than-Souter disappointment in my book.
And now Cruz lies about not having supported him. Despite that the editorials were published.
Trump says Cruz is the biggest liar on the stage. We need to pay attention, because once again I think Trump is probably right.
