Roberts can give a long, long, long answer that basically says, "I already answered that question when Senator Specter asked me."

Exactly. It's actually a two-fold strategy. Roberts can say he already covered that question and Specter can be seen as 'objective'.

In the big picture, the next shoe to drop is Bush naming Janice Rogers Brown for the O'Conner seat and putting the Dems in the box of attacking a black woman who has been nominated by a President who 'hates blacks'.

And the third shoe is the President nominating Senator Jeff Sessions when a liberal Justice leaves the Court.

THIS is the one I'm waiting for.....

It's would be GREAT to see how DEMS handle an attack on her, while trying to say "We're Not Racist"....

BUT....
I believe the next nominee will be Garcia from Texas...

It won't matter -- regardless of which black nominee he appoints (assuming he does so), the Dems will say/act like he/she is not black enough...no Bush nominee will ever be "black" enough for their taste.
