Because the last time this was allowed to play out we got Justice Souter.
At least then it had the excuse of a democrate majority which had to be appeased.
There's no excuse this time!
Actually, I support the Times in investigating details of the Roberts' adoptions, but only to the extent of documenting that nothing occurred outside normal legal channels (I wouldn't expect there would be). I would also expect the Times to perform the same research for a Hitlery appointee (HA!). However, if they tried to get into sealed records, that goes beyond the line.
If you can predict how Judge Roberts will vote as a Supreme Court Justice with such accuracy, we really need to talk about some stock picks. Or at least who will win the World Series this year.
IMHO, Roberts has a reasonably solid conservative track record and the liberals are trying really hard to stretch one very minor situation into a wedge issue.
Bush had the time to do a background check, and could easily have come across this. Freepers don't have access to that kind of background check so it took some time to find out.
ME too. But these talking windbags need to think Chess, and stop talking checkers.
Again, this latest dustup has *helped* Roberts among liberals who now recognize that he will probably be another Souter...thus ensuring his confirmation The GOP majority will never stand up for principle, so you don't have to worry about an attack on the "right flank." Won't happen! After all, these are the same Senate "conservatives" who loyally supported Bush's proposals for creased farm subsidies, transportation boondogles, and socialized medicine via prescription drugs.
I am afraid you will be sadly disappointed. Roberts is not going to join Souter. You'll have to find something else to bash the President about.
Nothing is certain in life but the evidence is piling up. BTW, this isn't the only time Roberts worked pro-bono to expand big government. He also worked pro bonon to invalidate duly enacted welfare time limits.....but hey if you feel comfortable with taking a stand that he should be on the court for life, that's your business.

She supposedly is going to be on Hannity radio today to discuss the issue.
Right! Rush was saying "see, this is the media trying to drive a wedge between Roberts and social conservatives ..."
... and lookee here, that is exactly what NYT is doing, trying to use Rush himself to help their agenda but without admitting that RUSH SAID THEY WERE DOING IT.
Rush also pointed out the news of them investigating Roberts' children's adoption records. Leave no stone unturned, and surely it will all end up in the inbox of one of Schumer's staffers.
The agenda is *SO* obvious. ... Puke. NYSlimes, the Old Grey Hag.
"It was reported that Roberts played a 'Scalia like' role in the moot court procedure questioning the lawyers in oppositional questions they might face from SCOTUS in the courtroom."
Cool. He's ready to be Scalia!
You're saying he'd rather have this legal mind?:
We may be surpised by this guy.
I won't have to search too hard. Let me see: helping to socialize medicine via prescription drugs, overturning the will of the people of California on medical marijuana, increased farm subsides, protectionism, transportation boondogles, nationalizing airline searches, increased education spending, endorsing affirmative action in college admissions at the University of Michigan....Perhaps you will be the one who has to do the searching to find something positive....because Bush is the most pro-big government president since Nixon!
Thanks for repeating my point. Unfortunately "support the petition..." was a typo that should read "Suppose the petition..."
