The point of my posting is that you can tell a lot about a person by the company he keeps.
Judge Roberts has solid conservative credentials as evidenced by both his tenure in the Reagan Administration and his clerkship with Rehnquist. Moreover, he is known within Federalist Society circles.
Souter never had such ties...and did not run in those social circles. In fact, Souter never ran in any social circle of which I am aware.

His son who's now senator from NH has been disappointing on some things I think. Don't remember what.
