>>Krauthammer says that all of the dem presidential candidates will vote against Roberts. Watching them jin up their justifications will be interesting. Kristol says that, a week before the vote on Roberts, the NYT will play some dirty trick.<<
Point One: There will be a voice vote on Roberts' confirmation in order to give cover to Hitlery.
Point Two: Why would the Times wait until the week before the vote to pull its shenanigans?

For a delay for an investigation/witch-hunt/fishing expedition since O'Conner said she'd stay on the bench until Robert's was confirmed. But, I wouldn't think they'd want to delay the inevitable given that Bush will have at least one if not two more hits at this ball.
