He looks like a young and healthy 50. 30 years should be no problem on the bench. Shumer is losing sleep already. How great is that?

Roberts seems like a slam-dunk, but I'm sure the Democrats will make a mountain out of any molehill they can find.

Maybe the next pick will be spicier. Last night I dreamed that GWB got to pick all 9 Sup Ct justices. I wonder, if he did, what the balance would be?
To: Lou L
I woke up with a smile on my face this morning with a quote from a TV reporter still ringing in my ears: "Chuck Schummer appeared to be visibly shaken when told of the Roberts nomination". There are very few things that can make my day as much as something like that can...

Believe me, Kennedy will come up with that molehill! I can't wait to see what it is!
This should be good coming up so closely to the anniversery the swimmer would like to forget, but we won't let him!

Podhoretz sounding prissy and pissy over this nomination.
If the media is bored, well tough noogies.

When ever I see Schumer on the toob, I remember my mom's advice: "Quit making those dirty looks, Eric, or your face will freeze up that way."

No doubt the liberal sleaze machine is in full panic mode, anxious to find something, ANYTHING that they can use to torpedo Roberts.
I'm reminded of that scene in the original "Willy Wonka" movie, where Verruca Salt's father has all of his slave laborers furiously opening thousands of Wonka bars in hopes of getting his daughter a golden ticket. You see the hundreds of poor workers slaving away at this single quest, and Mr. Salt screams from his office door "WORK HARDER! FASTER!".

Absolutely!
And it is going to be fun watching them do it.
(I still wish he had nominated Judge Brown, though.)

Your mother probably had no idea of what a putz Chuckie is or she clearly would have given her OK, IMHO.

Roberts is truely a consensus nomination. He was on Democratic Senator Lieberman's short list and I am sure the President took this into consideration. Let's get the confirmation done with and continue the debate on the CIA leak. We know now that Rowe is not guilty maybe it was Joe Wilson. If so, unfortunately, he must go to jail. And if Chuck Schumer is involved he must also serve time.

It has been an excellent pick by President Bush: conservative, (relatively) young, confirmed three years ago even by the Democrats.
To: Dubya's fan
Hard to believe there will be a SC justice only a few years older than I am. Maybe soon we will have a president younger than I am. ;-)
I forget which talking head last night said Roberts would be in line to succeed Rehnquist as chief justice now, even if Rehnquist retires relatively soon, like within 6 months. That would be an interesting move but I wonder if it wouldn't be a bit of an insult to the more senior Scalia or Thomas.

Schumer's seems to wrap clear around his head.
To: Dubya's fan
He was confirmed in 2003, not in 2001. Sorry for the mistake.
To: Sunshine Sister
Believe me, Kennedy will come up with that molehill! I can't wait to see what it is! The 12-year old arrested for a french fry case is the molehill that liberals are working on right now.
