I have to agree with AC.

Roberts has only served two years on the bench.

There were better jurists with a lot more experience and a conservative track record on the bench than Roberts that W could have chosen.

All we can do is hope & pray for is that Roberts turns out to be a Scalia and not another Souter!

[RockinRight]

Ann, sorry babe...like I told you last night when we were talking...I think you're wrong on this one.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Well, she does make some very persuasive points. Especially this one: Finally, lets ponder the fact that Roberts has gone through 50 years on this planet without ever saying anything controversial. That’s just unnatural.

However, he does have plenty to say about judicial restraint. That gives me comfort.

[TheForceOfOne]

Ann is great but it is time that will tell if the choice remains true to the original intent of the Constitution. We will have to wait at least ten years for the effects of Washington to sink in and whether or not he succumbs to inside the beltway politics.

[RayBob]

Gee...maybe Ann was getting a little juiced up by all those Ann Coulter for USSC posts on FR and is pissed she didn't get the nod.

Roberts is a solid conservative pick. Maybe Ann needed to sell more books to the fringe whack-jobs...

[goodnesswins]

Well....here's some STRATEGERY....if ANN is AGAINST Roberts, then MAYBE the Democrats will be FOR HIM?

[1Old Pro]

WOW, now that's a cold shower.

[SoFloFreeper]

I think in the right wing thinker category, Ann is wrong here...if Mark Levin thinks the guy is a good choice, I'm going with Mark. Of course, of course, of course: only time will tell.

[RobFromGa]

She probably lost a ton on TradeSports, and was also wrong in her predictions to her friends...

[Tribune7]

I heard his wife is involved with Feminists for Life -- which would be a good sign.

[slowhand520]

I think Coulter makes some valid points. But I take comfort in the fact that Levine, Ingraham, Redstate.org, Ramesh Ponnuru, Rich Lowry, J K Lopez, and the rest of the NRO gang are happy with the pick.

[soloNYer]

Mark Levin on my local radio show (Wilkow in Albany on WGY) saying that he may be a stealth candidate but we know far more about Roberts than Souter, try to gauge somebody based on what we know, good record, Rehnquist connection. Not sure I liked the way he began, however, saying "Well, he's better than the name that was floated around yesterday."

[trek]

Got to disagree with Ann here. This is the slow breaking ball on the outside corner that freezes the Dims at the plate. Watch for the smoke when Rehnquist goes (my prediction: as soon as Roberts is confirmed).

[mysterio]

His stance against the Fourth Amendment makes me doubt he's an "originalist." Unless you want to argue that the founding fathers wanted the Bill of Rights tossed out for the WOD.

[i_dont_chat]

You can't judge a chess game by only one move.

Ann MUST write a column every day -- and this is her daily offering.

With time, I think she will change her tune on her assessment of President Bush's nominee. She is man enough to admit it when the time comes.

BTW, this must be soooo confusing to the libs out there. Ann's comments will keep them completely off balanced.

[wildbill]

If you're a columnist and want to be read and discussed, the best thing to write is a column that posits either "the sky is falling" or the contrarian case.

If you're right, you can take credit and rest on your laurels for years. If you're wrong, no one will remember.

[billnaz]

I agree with Ann Coulter most of the time, but I'm not sure in this instance. What reassures me is the way the DUmmies have been hyperventilating since the announcement.

[trisham]

I usually agree with Ann, but I can't this time.

I'm not looking for a nominee who is a conservative, but one who is an originalist.

[gopwinsin04]

The nominee that Ann would be estatic about would be unpassable due to the 'Gang of 14' RINO coalition in our own party.
