Ok. He is pro-States Rights on the Roe V Wade issue. Good for him.

What is his stance on the rest of the Constitution? Like the Second Amendment. Does he know what "shall not be infringed" means?

Some supportive statements for what it's worth.....

[liberallarry]

I am not a social conservative but it's very good for the country that those who elected Bush feel they got what they paid for. Hopefully, everyone will see this as proof that our system works, that elections matter and do reflect the will of the majority.

"I think it's a big victory for anybody who thinks that the Supreme Court has badly overstepped its legitimate authority over the past decades,"

I agree....I am very happy with this pic!!!!!

Does anyone know Robert's views on abortion, evolution, and gay marriage?

Mark Levin, author of "Men in Black," a new conservative critique of the Supreme Court, sees no conflict and is a fan of Roberts. "In the short period he has been on the court, John Roberts has shown he does not bring a personal agenda to his work. He follows the Constitution, and he is excellent."

More Christian conservative comment, from D. James Kennedy's site.

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, believes that John Roberts will make an excellent addition to the Court. "I've known Judge Roberts for 17 years and litigated with him at the Supreme Court of the United States," he said. "There can be no question that Judge Roberts is exceptionally well qualified to serve as the next Supreme Court Justice."

"A man of character, Judge Roberts understands the Constitution and has a record of applying the law -- not legislating from the bench."

Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition, said, "Conservatives who supported George W. Bush have no reason to be disappointed. He has more than fulfilled his pledge."

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, echoes these sentiments, saying, "There's no question that President Bush is a promise keeper."

Thanks for posting this....great read.

I am so happy with this pick, Pres. Bush did a great job.

I am all for free speech, but to be blunt, the praise from some quarters is not going to help this process. Sometimes you need to keep quiet to get what you want.

But, but he doesn't have the Ann Coulter seal of approval.

It's the end of the world.

[Alberta's Child]

John Roberts ping.

[ex-snook]

Bush should get a solid A for his nomination. Now it's up to Roberts.

[shield]

WOW....this is great...the liberal loons are breathing fire... ;o)

[George W. Bush]

Indeed, "brilliant" seems to be the word most often applied to Roberts.

It becomes far more difficult for Dims to filibuster him or the Gang Of 14 to help them do it when you have a nominee considered on all sides as a brilliant jurist.

Clarence Thomas never had enough time on the bench so it made it much easier to attack him. Bork certainly was brilliant but perhaps a little too much so. Or at least he could be portrayed that way on paper.

Smart pick by the White House. And I like that Bush picked an eminently qualified nominee, not a drab choice transparently based on color or sex.

Nice work, Bush & Co. I expect rapid confirmation.

[Ol' Sparky]

Perhaps, James Dobson and these Christians leaders should be withholding judgement on Roberts unless they know he will overturn Roe vs.Wade.

It's sad when Ann Coulter has more of a backbone than Christian or pro-life leaders.
