If you go with what Drudge has (a quote from Roberts concerning Roe v Wade), then we have a BIG fight coming.
Let the games begin!

In his defense, Roberts told senators during his 2003 confirmation hearing that he would be guided by legal precedent. "Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land. ... There is nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent."

After listening all day to talk radio blather about the moderate "selection" of Judge Clements (sp) I am relieved he is picking a conservative nominee
To the Democrats I say:

No matter who gets picked, it won't be a liberal/socialist activist, so the Dems will not like it.
Accept it, and get ready for more BS than a beef farm can generate....!!!!

"Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land."
That contradicts his other comments about Roe v. Wade as being "wrong"

Ruling on the appellate court is a completely different issue than ruling on the Supreme court. The appeals court follows precident, the Supreme Court sets precident.

I'm glad it's not Gonzales. Go Bush!
