Bill Press wants the Democrats to filibuster Roberts on ideological grounds. He's a conservative and therefore an extremist out of step with the mainstream of the country. Never mind his outstanding qualifications. He has the wrong beliefs and to liberals that puts him on the wrong side of being a fine jurist. Never mind the Left lost three elections in a row. Bill Press has the arrogance to demand the President name a judge acceptable to him. Some of these liberal losers still don'r get it. That's why this missive rates a mega barf. Its enough to churn one's stomach.

Bill Press = Steaming turd.

[John Valentine]

Yeah, but did you really expect better than this from Bill Press?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Anything that Bill Press writes deserves it's own special barf alert.

Bill Press writing for Worldnetdaily!!!

[kingu]

Umm, Mr. Press? I know that facts aren't something that editorials are necessarily strong on, but just to take a couple issues into consideration...

First - Roberts was on the Senate Democrats acceptable list. Senator Lieberman let the cat out of the bag, admitting that he was on the acceptable list... Hmm. Actually, once I bring this up, all that is really left is to note that Roberts won the case for the government.

Oh, and Bill? ROVE! ROVE! ROVE! He's gonna getcha!

[Democratshavenobrains]

Has anyone asked why the lefties have such an unhealthy obsession with "frog-marching"?

[mrsmel]

Either Bill Pissy-fit has been straight reading DUh,or they've already gotten their talking points,because this article reads almost exactly like a thread over there.

[topher]

From the article:

We know what this is all about. George W. Bush wants to get Karl Rove off the front pages in the worst possible way. And he did so, by nominating John Roberts on the Supreme Court. But Democrats in the Senate can't let that happen. They must derail this train before it leaves the station.

Poor Bill... He forgot that 2006 is an election year for Nelson and Nelson, and both that Democratic Senators ARE NOT GOING TO COMMIT POLITICAL SUICIDE.

Poor Bill... He forgot that Susan Collins of Maine (Republican turn-coat at times) -- was informed that the largest base in Maine was added to the base closings list (on the day that the Roberts nomination was announced -- just to make a point with Susan to "play ball). This is a double humiliation for her -- she is on the Senate Armed Services Committee -- so if she cannot keep the base open, she also committs political suicide.

Then there are other RED STATE Democratic Senators that do not want to walk the plank like Tommy did in South Dakota...

Poor Bill -- he just doesn't understand that if the Democrats lose 7 seats in the Senate in the next election, Northeast Republicans will not even be able to aid them...

[BigCinBigD]

Bill Press Is a screaming Loon who should be placed in a mental hospital and fed raw fish sticks till he explodes.

[Saint Reagan]

Pick someone in the tradition of Sandra Day O'Connor: a true conservative, but not an ideologue.

<sarcasm>Yeah, Sandra's a true conservative. Affirmative action has always been a Republican value... after all minorities can't get into college on their own merits... </sarcasm>

[Dr.Hilarious]

Consult with us the same way Clinton used to consult with Senate Republicans

GAG! CHOKE! WHAAAA?????

What PLANET is Press living on? Clinton picks Ruth Bader Ginsberg and to Press that proves he "consulted" with Republicans????

The crack must be plentiful where he lives!

[Dr.Hilarious]

The problem is not his judicial qualifications, but his political ideology.

Which has zero to do with the senate's duty to determine if he is competent to be on the SC.

Press is like all libs--who cares what the rules are, they will fight to control the courts because it's the only way they can control the American people.

This is the only time I wish I could use profanity on this board. What a Durbin Press is!

[ChristianDefender]

On an important church-state issue, Roberts argued for the first Bush administration that formal prayer should be permitted at public high-school commencements. If students didn't like it, said Roberts, they could simply stay away from their own graduation. In another First Amendment case, Roberts argued that flag-burning was unconstitutional. Both positions were rejected by the Supreme Court. You know he's an extremist when even the Rehnquist court finds him too conservative. Oh... i love this one! not good for ACLU! Imagine Pres. Tancredo and Roberts together in the future... doomsday for Islam..extinction for ACLU!..sarcasm

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

The court ruled for the mother, but Roberts sided with the city – a frightening insight into his lack of regard for individual rights

What is Press saying? That it was the kid's "right" to break the law?

Roberts' ruling simply upheld good law, even though Roberts said the issue could have been handled in a better manner by the police. Personally, I think the police did the right thing. Police are not supposed to water down the law with their own judgement--they are supposed to uphold the law.

The RATs continue to show they are enemies of our founding principles and of law and order.

[R. Scott]

Yes, Judge Roberts is too extreme for the radical left – he actually believes in the rule of law and that Our Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.

[counterpunch]

Bill Press and the moveon.org crowd have already lost this battle. To use his own words against him, Press is the one who "proves how far out of step he is with mainstream America" with this drivel.

[Popman]

I simply could not finish reading it.

Bill Press is either a mental midget or mentally deranged

Probably both

[Huck]

If you ask me, the libs are playing the game correctly and the GOP are the flipping morons. Why they vote FOR unfit nominees like Ginsburg is beyond me.

[AFPhys]

But he has enough of a paper trail for us to know he's a member of the extreme right on economic and social issues.

I certainly hope that Press is correct about this.

It seems that President Bush has done as well as he can to chose a justice who might help this country make a long slow turn back toward our Constitutional roots. Only time will tell if he is another Souter or a Scalia, but the President seems to have done his part.
