Turbin Durbin on CNN

Perfect place for him. Nobody will see him....

[Rennes Templar]

Right. Everyone was expecting a minority and/or female. Guess what W will do when Rhenquist retires: Play that card!

[eleni121]

You are right about UpChuck Schumer.

He has no honor except upholding socialism and secularism any time and anywhere.

[Howlin]

They're still on C-SPAN.

They are singing the praises of Sandra O'Connor.........geez, I'm glad she's gone!

[NormsRevenge]

It's almost like Junior winning the Super Bowl and marrying SnowWhite at half time, to boot..

well, ya know what I mean. lol

[MikefromOhio]

It would seem our President has thrown a nasty curve ball at the left.

And too quite a few FReepers with hair triggers on their collective tempers....

[LS]

You are right that Bush totally toyed, not only with the media, but he bitch-slapped Arlen "Scottish Law" Spector, too. What a beautiful thing!

[SittinYonder]

I have been reading this thread, and I am patiently waiting for someone to post proof that Roberts is a conservative. A 99-0 voice vote in 2003 for a place on the DC Court screams moderate -- another O'Connor -- exactly what Specter asked for. I dread we have been 'Bushed' again.

Maybe this works for you, maybe it doesn't, but this is what I can offer for now:

Mark Levin, author of "Men in Black," a new conservative critique of the Supreme Court, sees no conflict and is a fan of Roberts. "In the short period he has been on the court, John Roberts has shown he does not bring a personal agenda to his work. He follows the Constitution, and he is excellent."

Levin's opinion is as good as anybody's on this issue.

[pulaskibush]

I'm waiting for Alan's reaction.

[ohioWfan]

Mark Levin's word is not good enough for you?

[Miss Marple]

Well, Ken Starr is on and thinks this is a wonderful pick. He is respected as one of the paramount lawyers of his time, and Starr says he isn't exagerrating.

Starr says he is a traditional conservative.

Schumer just said he voted against him in committee. What else do you want? His wife is the executive director of Feminists for Life. He said the decision on Roe was flawed.

Is that enough for you?

[TexasNative2000]

Suckie is now upset that President Bush didn't give them a heads up on the name.

Can you hear my heart breaking down here?

Sorry; can't hear it over the screams of the Left.

[JediForce]

Just knowing Ken Starr makes Roberts hated even more by the lefties....I am getting orgasmically happier by the moment.

[maica]

That's a macro;

####

Chuckie's speech was ready before Roberts was named. There was just a field to fill in for the name.

Ken Starr is on with Hannity saying wonderful things about Roberts.

[b4its2late]

I'll send letters and call Schumer and Clinton, for whatever good it does.... LOL!

[nopardons]

Proving that you don't know a damned thing and that your political instincts stink. ;^)

[kristinn]

Schumer intimated that the 'Rats will be demanding to look at the private files of Hogan and Hartson where Roberts used to work. He specifically referenced the battle over getting the privileged files of the Justice Department the 'Rats used to sink Miguel Estrada.

This is going to be ugly and dirty.

[paulat]

I hate to be a downer, y'all, but I can't help but thinking.....wouldn't BKO be ecstatic tonight? (lump in my throat)

I know what you mean...and it's too bad Ted's age mostly kept him out of the running. The Prez wants influence for the next 35 years...if not more....

[tobyhill]

I think I saw Durbin on one of those Woodstock documentaries. I think he was the one getting the IV, in the medical tent, after the bad trip was passed around.

[prairiebreeze]

LOL!
