How can the Dems fillibuster a guy who clerked for a judge named "Friendly"? They can't.

This guy is the one who said Rehnquist would retire. More recently, he said last night that the job was going to Clement.

And it still doesn't explain Liddy Dole, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, all of the Senate women coming back to DC.

So far this pro lifer thinks the news is good:

"Roberts, named by the National Law Journal in 1999 as one of the top 10 civil litigators in Washington, argued in 1992 before the Supreme Court against using a federal civil rights law to stop Operation Rescue protests outside abortion facilities."

Heck with all the rumors flying around I'd not be surprised to Alberto Gonzales back in the lead by Prime Time....

Good, because I shorted her, thinking that Bush won't go for someone openly committed to overturning Roe v Wade.

"White House now informing Congress"

Doesn't that mean that the name will be leaked momentarily? Do they normally inform congress first?
