"So, do you think John Roberts is 'mainstream' enough to be confirmed without a fight from the Dims? ('cause I'd worry about the his judicial quality if confirmation is too easy.) :^]"Good question...
IF we discover Roberts was "acceptable" to Ted Kennedy (who had a "problem" with Davis Souter of all people), I think we've got a problem.
The post-selection assessment from Dems in the next day or so ought to be quite interesting.
So far, (from what I've been able to understand about the judicial 'leanings' of John Roberts) I think President Bush's selection will probably make Teddy want to have a little drink. And then another one. And another...
I know, I know. What doesn't cause that reaction by TK? :o)
