Do you even know Roberts? That is simply an outrageous comment.
Think I'm going to fall out of my chair. Coulter actually steps off the Republican plantation and discovers actual conservative thought. Doubt it will happen ever again, but at least she sees it once.
I didn't really want her on the court, and I don't think anyone else did either...we just wanted to see all the Dems' heads explode.
but Levin has something else that's long that AC doesn't have!
Wasn't RINO Warren Rudman also involved in hoodwinking GHWB into nominating Souter?
I seem to remember that Rudman was calling in his chips for supposedly helping GHWB win the New Hampshire primary.
GHWB should've known that something was amiss if the stridently pro-Roe Rudman was pushing Souter.
Anyone who finds Roe acceptable legal reasoning under our Constitution, must also find every other extra-constitutional, fiat-by-judiciary acceptable, too.
I would have preferred Janice Rogers Brown.
Judging by the Republican's past performances, I will continue to believe we got screwed once again, until it is proven different.
Why is Sandy Berger not going to prison?
Because the Bush Justice Department for one reason or another does not want him to.
Why Hillary not prosecuted for just the misdeamenors she committed? Forget about the felonies, that would be too much to hope for.
I agree with Ann here. He may turn out to be just what we wanted, but why do we have to wonder?
He will likely be arguing in front of the new Associate Justice. It would not serve his interests to slam him. There will be plenty of that from others...
Everything I've read indicates that Roberts strongly favors strict interpretation of the Constitution. He's a member of the Federalist Society nearly everything I've seen that he has decided supports the Constitution. Levin and Ann apparently disagree on Roberts - I suspect it will be Ann in this case who cries "uncle" in the end. Though she's right about "no real abortion track record" there is nothing to suggest he would not be in favor of an originalist interpretation there that would send that whole mess back to the states. I would agree, and be happy with that outcome.
You are right about her being wrong, and wrong about her NOT doing her homework.
The talking heads did mention that some Republicans wouldn't like Roberts because he wasn't conservative ENOUGH. She is one of those folks.
Thus, she falls into the negative.
She DID do her homework. She found, to her dismany, that there simply isn't much negative to say about Roberts.
Harhar. Ann always does her homework.
I think that counts for more than people may realize.
You are absolutely correct.
That would have been amazing if he appointed Starr!
That's probably the next one. There will be more in the next three years.
I have seen this as well, but again he is arguing on behalf of his client.
So who was Souter confused with when the first Bush nominated him?
I agree with Ann Coulter. A Luttig, Brown or Jones would have been a conservative's pick. You don't play "tactics" setting up the next pick with SCOTUS. There are only 9 slots and just one could be the swing vote. EVERY pick should be a true, known conservative.
That occurred to me, too. Maybe she thinks some opposition from conservatives will mute the left.
You're in GOOD company!
Souter was an accomplished dork as well as a complete blank. Not so Roberts. There is no comparison here. Roberts would not be my first pick either but I think he is a solid one - especially if Mark Levin thinks the same thing.
She's not infallible. I'd rather trust Laura Ingram (who clerked for Justice Thomas) or Jutice Scalia who has described Roberts as the best Supreme Court appellate lawyer in the country.
