This is from Teddy's statement:

"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.

"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.

Does anybody know if the standard has ever been such that the nominee must respect the political beliefs of the person to whom they are replacing?

(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
