It's called sarcasm.

He will not be confirmed. The Democrats will not allow it.

At least they have some recourse against this fascist. Plastic is better than nothing. No sterilizing required. :)

See below, here's one leftie (writing before today) bemoaning that she considers Roberts anti-abortion and anti-environment. Of course, what DUers consider 'anti' abortion is anyone who won't approve of every possible form of promoting abortion to teenagers.

One must assume that these will be two big themes in the leftist onslaught claiming that Roberts is an 'ideologue' (i.e., anyone to the right of Bill Clinton), but I don't think they have much of a chance of 'Borking' this guy successfully.... especially since the Rs should be so ready, and the web, blogs, talk radio, etc. were not a factor in '87 when Bork was Borked by the vicious Senator from Chappaquiddick.

Judge John C. Roberts

Roberts has quite a significant history in trying to undermine abortion rights, including, under the first Bush administration, co-authoring a Supreme Court brief as Deputy Solicitor General for Rust v. Sullivan which argued for the government’s ability to prohibit doctors in federally-funded family planning programs from discussing abortions with their patients.

Among Roberts’ other writings can be found articles in support of a more expansive reading of the Contracts and Taking clauses of the Constitution, holding positions that would restrict Congress’ means for environmental protection.

In addition to his judicial résumé, Roberts also has interesting political qualifications. He has been a political appointee under both Regan [sic] and the first Bush administration and is a member of the Republican National Lawyers Association.

Btw, it's "sniveling", not sniffling...if you're going to insult someone, it's best not to look stupid when doing so...

When is four consecutive periods proper grammar? If you are going to use errors to dismiss the issue at hand, don't be a hypocritical twit.

There is a difference between having a difference of opinion on one candidate or nominee (say, Rummy or Hutchinson, Gonzolez or Brown) and in constantly bashing every move the Prez makes.

If the shoe doesn't fit you, you don't need to wear it.

But there are some real toadies here who have done NOTHING but criticize every move Bush makes---usually wrongly---then never have the guts to come back and say, "I was wrong. He did a good thing."

I wouldn't give a crap what color or what gender the nominee is, as long as he/she/it can read the constitution and follow it.

Why are you glad he's white?

I hope you are all realizing you are idiots in this thing. A Supreme Court Justice? WHo gives a s+it!!!!!! Why are we so incredibly into this. Each and every one of you has a representative in congress. Why are you so much more worried about your judge than the man or woman who represents you. WTF???

that big business is to be trusted very little more than big government... Bork is quite alright in my book for it.

You are a nice guy who posts well but in this case... Mr. Bork was way out of his depth on this. I think he made an intellectual argument concerning business and the tech industry without any feel or understanding of either, for how they work, for how they are funded, for what motivates the employees, for anything having to do with the practicality of hardware, software, and the way they are used. I lost all interest in him when he came down as he did.
