This is exactly what knowledgeable people on FreeRepublic have been saying for more than a month. This fight is over, and won, from the get-go.

More and more documentation has come out to demonstrate that Judge Roberts has consistently written in many contexts his understanding that the Constitution limits the powers of judges, as it does of all other government officials. It is time for Ann Coulter, and maybe even Joseph Farrah (if he's thinking this week), should write columns taking it all back.

It is time to focus on the next Supreme Court appointment, and the one or two after that. Chief Justice Rehnquist cannot physically last a year longer. Replacing him with a conservative (restrained) Justice will not cahnge the equation on the Court.

The big fight, that the last-ditch Democrats are already planning for, comes when Justice Stevens (age) and/or Jusice Ginsburg (age and cancer) retire. Replacing either of them will have profound effects on the Court's decisions.

I think it is best that they keep up the attacks. Those attacks are giving some comfort to liberals that maybe Roberts is not so bad. Their attacks are actually making it easier for Roberts to sail through.
