Why do I have the suspicion that this is an attempt to get conservatives to oppose the nomination?

The president's staff must have vetted this case already with Judge Roberts during the application process, if it was good enough for them--it's good enough for me.

Because you are right. And it gives the Chicken Littles on FR something to talk about.

Sounds like a classic "divide-and-conquer" tactic to me as well.

1. Because it is.

2. When leftists start pointing this out, simply turn right around and say, "Then this means he isn't a rabid conservative like liberals have insisted and you oppose him merely because you hate President Bush."

Because that is exactly what it is. Of course those who worship Ann Coulter and those who hate President Bush will be drawn to an LA Slimes story like flies to sh*t since it will give them something else to whine about. Funny how they'll trust the LA Slimes or New York Slimes as gospel.

The is left is finally figuring out that they are not going to win by directly stating who and what they are. If we are not careful, they are going to play us.

Hillary's "concern about borders" and their candidate in this week's Ohio race are a good example of the strategy. On the Roberts nomination the only hope they have is to have "super conservatives" oppose his nomination.

IMO, the "house divided strategy" holds lessons for ALL of us on the right in these latest fights.

Seven of nine current Justices were appointed by Republican administrations. No amount of pre-screening will tell us where the wishy-washy nominees will end-up on the right-left spectrum of the Supreme Court.

Um, 'cause it is?
But it should have the same effect as Kerry "outing" Mary Cheney. We already knew it and loved her, we didn't care.

It may very well be. But if it's true, what difference does the motive of the messenger make?

Let's face it. If this is true, it's a very troubling sign.

Yes, by all means, let's no know anything about what he's done or what causes he's supported, because that might be "an attempt to get conservatives to oppose the nomination." We conservatives should be deaf, dumb and blind to any facts that might suggest Roberts is not conservative. Bah, Bah, Bah, Sheeple!
