On some of those issues, I disagree with the President's position. Some I do not. However, he has not, like most Presidents (especially Nixon and his price controls) promised one thing on the campaign trail and done another. He campaigned on presciption drug benefits for seniors. I disagreed with that, but I can't fairly claim he didn't do what he said he will do.

He has promised to nominate Justices who respect the Constitution. From everything I have seen, Roberts fits that very well. Nothing is certain, of course -- but to compare this to Souter the hermit is just plain wrong. Roberts worked in two Republican White Houses and clerked for Rehnquist. He's much better known that Souter ever was.

Stop confusing people with facts.

Good point...though, as a I recall, Souter also worked for Republican administrations and had a reputation as a deregulator among some.
