I'll go with Rush/Hannity/etc., on this: I hope for the best, but am starting to get uneasy.
None of this would be happening if we knew more about Judge Roberts. I think the "no paper trail" strategy is foolish.
I won't predict that he will turn out to be another Souter, but he's starting to smell more like a Justice (Anthony) Kennedy.
I think we should be listing what little "tells" he actually has produced.
Has he written anything about private property rights?
Has he written anything regarding family law?
This BS about playing pretend judge in law firm training exercises is a distraction.
Check out the opposition research on Judge Roberts.
