Ann is right about kennedy and wrong about Roberts.

The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, 'Prohibition', passed in 1919, was "settled law" for 14 years until we came to our senses and repealed it in 1933 with the 21st Amendment.
Strange how the progressive notion that the Constitution is a "living, breathing instrument" goes out the window when it's the Dems' ox that's about to be gored.

We don't need an in-your-face SC justice. I much prefer a solid conservative, humble, Christian person who disagrees with judicial activism, and Roberts appears to fit the bill.

There's the problem - "appears." I think we've earned the right to have a nominee we *know* will fit the bill.

That's what she's saying, and as much as I dislike her I think she's right. Roberts is a relatively unknown at best, and what's the need for that? The President could nominate a slam-dunk and have him confirmed.

Do what you want to do. I support Roberts.

"Roberts is a relatively unknown at best, and what's the need for that?"

Not really. He's very well known by the some of the biggest names in the fight to end abortion. He's also well known by other leading, non-media, conservatives. I wonder why people keep on saying he's not well known.

As do I.

I also can wish that W had nominated a judge we know won't turn on us. One thing does not preclude the other.

A lot of information is out there on Roberts. There's no more reason to fear than there would be with any other nominee.

There's an element of the unknown with any and every sc nominee.

Thanks for posting. Another great appearance on TV for AC. I love this quote: "Pick someone who is known to be a conservative in important ways, asClarence Thomas was, as we know Scalia was, and then, you know, let them not so much moderate their views, but not — they don't have to be flame throwers during the actualhearing itself, but pick somebody we know something more about. I mean, I think Republicans have — as I write this week's column, lost the ability to say "trust me." It was a Republican who nominated Earl Warren, William Blackman, or William Brennan, Blackman, O'Connor, Souter, I mean, this has been — Stevens, this has been seven times we've gotten a blank slate and we end up with a Justice Souter." She tells it like it is.

That's the wrong argument by Leahy. Roe v. Wade has more in common with Dred Scott v. Sanford or Plessy v. Ferguson.

Were Dred Scott and Plessy "settled law" too? Or was it right for later legislatures and courts to defeat legalized slavery and segregation because it was simply the right thing to do?

Someone needs to tell Leaky Leahy that Plessy v. Ferguson was "settled law" for almost 60 years.

The lower courts are bound by prior decisions of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is not. This is a fairly basic and indisputable concept.

BaBaStooey, good point about Dred Scott.

My favorite quote in this H&C appearance wasn't the Kennedy/Chappaquick line, but this one: "Karl Rove wants people to see the Republican Party as the party of corporate America and country clubs."

It's so true.

For anyone who missed the H&C ep, the first half of it's currently on FNC's site in their videos section.

Must remember the rules.

These are from the H&C 7/27 ep. The lighting was terrible-I've had to touch them up.

Here's Hannity after she said the Chappaquidick line. He looked amused, but uncomfortable.

Btw, Ann's been working on her latest book for the past 2 or 3 months. That's why she wasn't doing as many media appearances until the Roberts nomination came up.

Does anyone know of a good software to use to extract & edit this interview from the DVD I have it on? Preferably a trial download.

I'm sure she'll be shattered by your disapproval.
