For example, dissenting opinions by Roberts have questioned the constitutionality of the Endangered Species Act

Anyone who thinks the Endangered Species Act is even remotely constitutional is unfit to be a lawyer, much less a judge.

OF COURSE it's unconstitutional, along with half of the other crap passed by Congress in the last 30 years.

If it's true Roberts suggested it's unconstitutional, he's a better pick than I thought - he sure has his work cut out for him.

"Extreme Right" bomb just dropped by Leahy...

His little speech was pitiful. He had to say the "no pass" nonsense for "da base." How can they diss the best lawyer in the country? (nevermind, they'd diss St. Paul himself if given the chance)

Oh well, the die is cast. Lines are being drawn sharply right now and truth is going to be in very short supply, inversely related to the media coverage allotted. I sure hope Bush took ample opportunity before the announcement to "look into the soul" of this nominee a little more thoroughly than he did for Putin, because this guy, should he jump this hurdle, will be around for my grandchildren

For America's sake, let's win this battle.

Colmes is a whore. I was laughing at him as he was whining, "he'll have to answer questions". Fortunately Sean is there to tell him, "Ginsburg didn't".

More proof of left wing hypocrisy.

Breuax trying to define activist as a justice that overturns previous court rulings on the Supreme Court. I guess they would all then be activists, including your beloved O'Connor right John? LOL

The look on Leaky and Chucky's faces tonight were absolutely priceless.

What a great pick. What a great day.

Schumer: "We're not answering anymore"

What he should have said was, "We're not living on this planet anymore"

Roberts has limited judicial experience

He has been the Principal Deputy Solicitor General of the United States, and a private lawyer in Washington D.C., he argued more cases before the Supreme Court than any other practitioner during the 10-year period before becoming a judge.

He truly is an evil, vile man. I've had e-mail correspondence with him, and felt like I had to take a shower afterwards.

It was very understated with Roberts looking very humble to be nominated.

-------

I'd be tingling like crazy myself.

Getting a vote of confidence from the Man who has the BIG RED Button under his thumb must be very humbling indeed.
