Troubling, very troubling. Souter deja vu.

Have you even seen any of Roberts writings??? He refers to Sen. Snow as a Marxist. How anyone can possibly construe this guy into being a Souter is beyond me. This guy will be BETTER than Scalia and Thomas.

A true conservative follows the law but is not always predictable...Scalia found that a ban on flag burning was unconstitutional, I believe. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Burning an American flag that you own as a form of freedom of speech. A flag is a piece of fabric that symbolizes a nation or group. It may enrage or sadden me to watch someone burn our flag but what about if I decided to burn an effigy of Clinton or the Iranian flag? My purpose would be to enrage others or vent my anger but do I have the right to such speech?

We can hopefully expect Roberts to use sober reasoning and a good conscience when he hears cases but we can never truly predict the outcome of a case.

LOL. I missed that one. Is there a link here that references that document?
