New thread time
Roberts was born in Buffalo, raised in Indiana.
"Justice O¹Connor set a high standard. She tried to bring the nation together, and she respected the Constitution. She was a mainstream conservative who used her ability and respect for the rule of law to find solutions that would strengthen us as a nation, as the Constitution intended.
(i.e, she was only mainstream and didn't fight us)
"Mr. Roberts must demonstrate that he meets that standard before the American people, and he will have an opportunity to do so before the Senate Judiciary Committee before the coming weeks.
(I.e., geeso, Roberts is going to be a yes man)
They are DONE. They cannot fight Roberts and they know it. Once again, Bush has outsmarted them all!
I'll say it again I LOVE MY PRESIDENT
I called my dad an hour before I got home and he told me CLements had gotten the nod.....As I said earlier, "W" bluffed them and won with a pair of nines.
It's called "building momentum".
Dred Scott was settled law;still it was revisited in time.
Mr. Roberts lists his net worth as over $3.7 million
I thought they had every possible corner covered......

Scotch is a must for me at celebration times - OR - Cold Duck with Popcorn... That will be confirmation fare for me, not nomination...
Looks like Roberts has a good INVESTMENT head also.....
Greast observation.

I wonder if they are from Russia or other eastern European country with that beautiful blond hair?
Talk to the liberals that not have not figured out that we think they are tired! Kennedy, Clinton, Kerry, etc! LOL Liberals and Hippies suck!
And he knew it too. I loved that little smile that he kept trying to suppress.
I'm only 2 years older than the Judge; and my grandkids are the same ages as his children.
He's a very brave man.
LOL! FatTed lecturing about "standards!" That is just TOO funny! haha hehe hoho!
