I guess I posted this from my brain, and it must have lost something on the way to my fingers... : ) My point was I hate placating the left in the hopes they'll do the same thing when it's their turn... The President told everyone the type of candidate he intended to nominate if an opening presented itself while on the campaign trail... It was not an Edith Clement... Since my earlier post, he has nominated Roberts... That to me, kept his promise to us.
I like the Judge Roberts and I think he was an excellent choice. I could have lived with Edith Clement as well. Im wondering if all the speculation about her wasnt a trial balloon for later when the more liberal Justice Stewart leaves the court.
