This is one of the few times I will go on record as disagreeing with Ann. Consider this: Robert's could just be a stealth conservative.

I don't think Coulter would disagree with you. The point of her article was that it was irresponsible of Bush to take that chance when there were judges out there that were close to a sure thing and the Republican's retained control of the Senate.

Good point. However, I do believe there may be a method to his 'madness', time (and his next pick) will tell.

Right now, I think Robert's is a great pick.

And yet Ann has NO knowledge of the President's research, interaction and possible W.H. files on Roberts from his days in the Reagan and Bush administration. She dismisses the President knows what she does not. That is not irresponsibility on the President's part. That is a temper tantrum on hers.

If she wishes to make the point she'd like more personal opinions authored by Roberts, fair enough. But the extent to wish she wants further knowledge to satisfy her own curiosities is as far as she can credibly opinionate. There may be NO doubt in the President's mind, and after five years with this man, I do not believe anyone can advance the idea he's chosen to gamble on hope. The president is confidant Roberts is secure.
