BE, a legal beagle, sort of likes the 14th Amendment/Person as the vehicle.
Amen and I think he is also scared of women!
LOL!
About out country's (regardless of party in charge) clueless reaction to Jihadist terrorism.
It's the second best book Ive read on the subject (Col. Hunt refers to the other book), but I knew if there was any positive response at all it would be to Col. Hunt's book.
If you read his, then get the other one.
BTW, is it my imagination or has the Colonel's appearances on FOX NEWS channel diminished since he wandered off the reservation?
Let's be realistic here... I think some of the other conservatives, esp female and or minority mentioned have less time on the bench than Roberts.
Bush will have one to three more opportunities to add to the SC. Hopefully we will gain some seats in the Senate and therefore his next nominees will be even more conservative than Roberts.
Let's face it. He can nominate anyone he wishes and they are going to pass. We control the senate.

I've had it for a tagline for weeks and you're the first.
I don't think you have to pray to hard on this one.
He is a member of the federalist society, is married to a pro-life activist, is a member of some kind of republican lawyers group, is best friends with Michael Luttig (aka lil scalia) and a campaign donor for numerious republicans.
Its not exactly a shot in the dark on this one. He was also an advisor on the Bush vs Gore case, to Bush knows him personally, as well as knowing people who know Roberts personally.
Coulter should have waited at least one or two more days and done some research, she jumped the gun a bit, this guy isn't even a stealth nominee.
Involved isn't the word.
She was either the head or one of the leaders of the organization and is still active with them.
Ann Coulter has John G. Roberts, Jr., pegged for a "pod person", one of the aliens in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
So what if he is? Maybe that is what America really needs now. There are already so many disconnects from reality that one more only hastens the eventual meltdown this country must go through before the "pod people" get their act together.
I'm guardedly optimistic, but he's young and has many years for the Wash. Post to slowly mold him into a "moderate".
I respect Ann to no end regarding her opinions, but I hope in the case of Roberts that he becomes a great Judge and that Ann is wrong on this one.
Wrong....they should be criticized when they screw up, act stupid and show their RINO behinds, but in private or in forums like FR...not openly in newspaper and on television where every stupid liberal Democrat and lame-brain member of the media can go "see Republicans are divided and don't support _____ (fill in the blank)!
Republicans and conservatives bashing each other will get reported everytime! When is the last time you read or saw a Democrat or liberal bashing each other. It may have happened....heck if there can be a white Christmas in Galveston, anything can happen....
My point is Republicans and conservatives face an enemy called the Mainstream Media. They will use any comment, any action or any non-action to bash us! Some jerk or jerkett at the New York Times is probably already writing a column about how unfit Roberts is for the Supreme Court. In addition to their usual pack of lies, no doubt they will say "even conservative pundit Ann Coulter doesn't care for Roberts."
Don't be silly.
The libs are not about be lining up behind Ann!
To the contrary.
I will bet cash money to this forum that within one week we will either hear Coulter quoted in the papers or on the floor of the Senate. If you think otherwise, you are not keeping up with how the Rats operate.
Uh oh, that doesn't sound good.
The last thing we need is another, go-along-with-liberals, please-don't-hurt-me, invite-me-to-your-parties, weak-willed conservative, or RINO. Especially sitting for the Supreme Court- the unelected overlords of our nation.
Ann does raise some valid reasons for concern. For the sake of our country, I pray she is wrong about John Roberts, that he turns out to be a true, dedicated, conservative.
The more I hear about him the more I like him.
The perpetual mantra of the Senate reelectioin campaign - all we need are a few more seats. We've got a majority now and refuse to play hardball to advance our agenda and we protect the RINOS we've got rather than encouraging challenges in the primary. And I don't subscribe to the first nomination is a freebie because we are going to get one to two more and the picks will be better next time. There were better, more seasoned originalists of comparable age that could have been nominated instead of Roberts. Do you really think another seat or two is going to make the President any bolder in his next nomination? If so, then we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.
You're on babe!
Your farm against mine!
He told me!
We miss you here in PBC you old dog.
I am confident in my position.
