oh, so you think it's a great idea for Republicans to continue nominating unknowns who usually turn out to be liberals, while liberals 100% of the time nominate liberals?
Name even ONE justice nominated by a liberal President that turned out to be a conservative?
Face it, Republicans have a dismal track record of picking fellow conservatives for the court.
I sincerly hope and pray that this guy is a REAL conservative, but unless he is required to answer questions about his belief we wont really know untill his make his first ruling on Roe v Wade as a new justice... How are you gonna feel then if he turns out to be another John Paul Stevens, or Souter?
Gee, I didn't post anything like the above comment. Perhaps you could enlighten me and quote where I did.
For the record, it would be better if President Bush nominates people with a more certain track record, even if they would be more difficult to confirm.
BTW, I have been following politics for 24 years and don't need your history lesson. I am painfully aware of the abysmal record of Republican Presidents regarding the nomination of conservatives to the court, including Reagan. I don't think that's the case this time with Roberts. Time will tell.
