The issue for conservatives is whether Roberts has the guts to overturn bad precedents, and the judicial philosophy that would allow him to justify it.

In a nutshell.

I liked this portion of his remarks about the modern Court:

GREGORY: When you read, in the run-up to the nomination of Judge Roberts, the shadow of Robert Bork over the process, do you view that now as a helpful thing or an unhelpful thing to the process now?
BORK: The process has become thoroughly corrupt, because it’s become politicized.
Of course, the Supreme Court invited that. The Supreme Court has gone off outside the actual Constitution; the majority of them have, outside the actual Constitution to make essentially political and cultural decisions. Now, once you do that, once you make yourself a political institution, you’re going to have a political fight over it, to get control of it.

The Court is the last place the Dims can hope to impose any of their radical agenda. If they lose that, they lose power completely, perhaps for decades to come.

There will be a fight over Roberts. Looking at the complete lies NARAL put out in their ad as just a sample, I think we'll see an all-out assault on Roberts in the next month.

Hi GW,

Long time, no see.

I think the left sees that they probably can't stop Roberts. But they are warming up for the next two openings. Even if Bush manages to get a strong conservative in for CJustice, as well as Roberts, we are still one vote away from anything you could call a conservative court. So we may need to win in '08 to see anything REALLY good happen.

If you want to see how nutty the left is, and how many nutty ones there are, read this article http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/13/opinion/13tierney.html and then read the comments http://forums.nytimes.com/top/opinion/readersopinions/forums/editorialsoped/opedcolumnists/johntierney/index.html?page=recent
It may be that we will win, but they will make it awfully ugly along the way.
