Wooooo haaa haaa...
Another DU thread:
"PREDICTION: Roberts will be confirmed easily"

Ha ha ha!
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
Agreed! Scalia!
Are you series? I didn't see his commentary.
;-)
Who?
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.
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.
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.
He's on H&C right now.
and Yup, Hatch said in his 29 years, he's never seen such an amount of consulting going on..
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
Salute goes to President George W. Bush for once again making an excellent judicial nomination, and congratulations to Judge 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 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.
