Levin and Starr like him!

I am so very excited now... the 3oz of Scotch in the last hour or so hasn't hurt either! I'm not used to this!

LOL

Don't make the mistake of conflating what a guy writes as a hired gun to what he will write as a judge. In any event, a lot of stare decisis questions will be asked by the usual suspects in his confirmation hearings. It will be interesting to see how the swiss watch brain who was first in his class at Harvard law school, and has argued 29 cases before SCOTUS responds), because if one believes Roe is wrongly decided, if there is any decision which has less of a case for stare decisis, I don't know what it is. But then you already knew that.

Roberts is the single most qualified person on this planet to serve on SCOTUS. He is just off the charts in every way imaginable. And that is what bothers me about this choice. If I were Bush, I would have saved him for the Ginsburg or Stevens seat, when the Dems will really be in the trenches, along with a few "RINO's" maybe. His nomination could not be defeated. He was Bush's ultimate teflon coated silver bullet, and now he has "wasted" it.

Roberts will be confirmed easily, (maybe something like 75-25, although it should be unanimous, but those days are gone), and there will be no filibuster. The Dems won't have the votes, and if they did, then the nuke would come down in a hurry.

I am going to take time off if I can to watch the hearings. It should be fascinating, and I want to see Roberts in action.

Wow, I never thought I would see an actual "Cut off your nose to spite your face" comment, but that one gets the prize. Rovebud. Rovebud. They'll jumped on that sled and it's taking them right over the edge of the cliff.

Alan Colmes!! Put up the name of a "right" group in opposition. A REAL conservative group. Not a front group. Otherwise I'm calling you out as a liar.

I will help you here my fellow freeper and answer Philip:

President Bush a Conservative and principled Republican President have promised us for 4 1/2 years that his selection for the US Supreme Court is someone who is a Traditionalist, Originalist, Conservative judge who does not legislate from the bench. He did just that today by nominating judge Roberts, and I trust very much his selection.

Colmes and John Breaux on now trying to split conservatives over Roberts, saying he's not conservative enough.

We have some snipers here doing the same thing. They all turned to page one of the playbook at the same time. Utterly predictable, as usual.

So, Leahy is full of crap as usual.

Actualy he's right about what O'connor said.


Dear President Bush,

this is to inform you of my decision to retire from my position as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, effective upon the nomination and confirmation of my successor. It has been a great privilege indeed to have served as a member of the Court for 24 Terms.

I will leave it with enormous respect for the integrity of the Court and its role under our constitutional structure.

Sincerely,

Sandra Day O'Connor

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

Starr talked sooooo far down at Alan, like he was a child. I'm sure Alan felt like putting his pacifier in his mouth!

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

the reason the camera only showed their heads was because they had wet their pants...

Alan is now whining about consensus as if he didn't know there was more consensus on this nominee than any other. Orin Hatch just reminded him.
