Well, the rubber will meet the road when Stevens or Ginsberg go. That would have been Roberts was most needed. There really is no one else in his class, for that mission. (McConnell has some of the same qualities, but has written a bit too much as a professor, and in articles, and will be more vulnerable, when it comes to a major ideological tectonic SCOTUS shift moment.) I should have added that apparently Roberts is a person of immense personal charm, which will come through in the hearings. He will just be totally unborkable and demonizable.
You and I think alike...LOL...weren't fer nuthin' Bush made a big deal about Buffalo, Indiana and steel mills!!!
Miss M...we're thinkin' Hillary's gonna vote "yes" on this one....
I think Bush may get to appoint up to 3 more Justices.
Hatch said "crap" again? That's twice in one week, first on Tony Snow.
This is going to be a better fight than some expected.
I am pleased....very pleased.
Lindsay Graham will vote for Roberts again on FOX
I bet not until after Labor Day. The Senate is in recess practically every week from now until then. And I am sure that Ralph Neas, Nan Aron, the NARAL crowd etc want all the time they can get to dig into crevasses for dirt.
And they all hang on to the words of Justice O'Connor that she will stay as long as needed. They could care less if she ever gets to spend time with her husband.
Roberts was born in Buffalo but raised in Indiana. When he attended Harvard the hero worship accorded Ho Chi Minh did not set well with his midwest upbringing and supposedly sent him on a tack to starboard.
There is always McConnell.
It's not just Dubya.
Frist, RNC chair (Mehlman?), Hastert, Hatch, ... all the GOP leaders are methodically terminating the Demodogs. They haven't stopped twitching, and are still energetic, but the D's life is over.
Will Evan Bayh oppose a Hoosier? Hmmm? BWAHAHA!
Don't underestimate the DUmmies. Just when you think they can't get any dumber, they do!!!
hehehehe
Lindsay Graham speaking very highly of Roberts on GVS show. Said he voted for him before and will vote for him again.
....I'm older than Roberts, Yikes!.....
I always considered the court to be the nine old men...... no more can we think that Iguess.. ( I know there are women too but the concept still holds)
**Having Roberts go first will set the template for future nominees, and the confirmation process against Liberal opposition. 1 - 0 versus liberals is better than 0 - 1.**
While moving the Supreme Court at least one notch to the right. (Quote from Fred Barnes)
I heard him too, not bad for a Democrat, I wish there are more of him but again from political point of view it is good that there are not many like him in the Democrat party because we have to work harder on beating them in elections.
Bush stated that Roberts grew up in Indiana in his introduction.
And did I hear correctly in my car...Roberts "worked in a meel" (mill)? That made me chuckle a little bit. Godspeed Mr. Roberts.
Me too, Salvation ! It almost appeared that he was choked up when he was talking.
Roberts grew up in Indiana?
Seems our President is partial to Hoosiers. WHOO HOOO!
