Like Ann Coulter wrote, it would have been better to have a candidate with proven conservative bonafides. At least the fight would have been worth it. We don't know anything about Roberts and have no idea how he'll vote when he gets on the court. Let's pray Farah and the skeptics like Ann are wrong about him.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".) Ann Coulter is justified in her concerns, but why does she ignore the "Proven" Conservatives who know Judge Roberts. I think Ann Coulter is one of the best on our side, but I think she is letting the nightmare of Suitor cloud her judgment
Short of joining with Schumer and opposing Robert's I just don't see what is to be done about this. I would rather have another Souter than join Schumer in anything, but I don't see any real evidence that Robert's is bad for the conservative cause. Pro bono representation does not imply an endorsement.
Let's pray Farah and the skeptics like Ann are wrong about him. I heard Coulter interviewed on Hannity a couple days ago. She was ranting about how Roberts has no paper trail, and going on and on about Souter's betrayal, suggesting that Roberts could follow suit. When Hannity asked her whether she had read the (apparently lengthy and very specific) answers he had written to the committee's questions, she hadn't. So how can she pass herself off as an expert on Roberts's credentials?
"Like Ann Coulter wrote, it would have been better to have a candidate with proven conservative bonafides."
I cannot help but feel that something is phony about a "politician" that has no enemies and is everybody's friend. Judge Roberts, like John Kerry, planned their ascent to power. Their strategy was different. Judge Roberts intentionally avoided controversial issues, and Kerry intentionally wrapped himself in controversy. This difference does not mean they are cut differently. On the contrary, Robert's withhold is just as deceptive as Kerry's lie.
Ambrose Bierce wrote about such a man as Judge Roberts.

The Man with No Enemies
AN Inoffensive Person walking in a public place was assaulted by a Stranger with a Club, and severely beaten.
When the Stranger with a Club was brought to trial, the complainant said to the Judge:
"I do not know why I was assaulted; I have not an enemy in the world."
"That," said the defendant, "is why I struck him."
"Let the prisoner be discharged," said the Judge; "a man who has no enemies has no friends. The courts are not for such."
