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!

The fact that Roberts has not spent most of his life as a judge ought to be a point in his favor. Maybe next time Bush will go even further out on a limb and nominate a Supreme Court justice who isn't even a lawyer.

This country has already been influenced way too much by a bunch of mediocre, limp-wristed career jurists who have no idea what it takes to earn a real living.

It would be refreshing to see a rancher or a truck driver on the U.S. Supreme Court. You can be sure there won't be too many "penumbras" in his opinions, and to someone like that the U.S. Constitution will mean exactly what it says.

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.

Amen, prayers can work wonders in cases like this.
