As usual, Farah is nuts.

Roberts is a friend of Ken "Red" Starr?

We're screwed.

He's the ultimate something, but the word I'm thinking of is a bit different.

Yes. To me Farah is a reverse barometer.

When Edward Lazarus compares Roberts to Breyer, it sounds to me like he is talking about personality and style, not philosophy and substance.

It sounds like Farah does not perceive the distinction and that Farah ignores other statements.

Up until now, I've been comparing Roberts to Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy and David Souter. I've got news for you. He's worse.

That's right, folks. He's worse than we ever expected. Mr. Roberts was born a 1970 AMC Ambassador Station Wagon, and was eventually transmogrofied by Karl Rove and the Bilderbergers into the consummate USSC mole.

Once again, Mr. Farah, please STFU.

Coulter?

That crazy leftist?

Wasn't she the poster girl for Free Republic for years until she spoke against drinking the artificially sweetened fruit flavored drink?

But this I will say, anyone who says that decisions which are wrongly decided but should be allowed to stand if challenged, is an imbecile or just wants power. Either one is a problem

Well said

I call BS, and maybe I am letting the cat out of the bag, but Coulter and now Farrah are running interference for Roberts... thats how I see it.

"Does anyone here like or even pay attention to Farah?"

I used to read him daily, but he's been wrong too many times and he's the biggest peesimist and defeatist there is on the so called right.

I think Ann Coulter is a pretty savy laddy with a lot of sense.

I for one, am extremely uneasy with Roberts and his dark horse personality. I never heard of this guy Farah personally, but Roberts does worry me, and George Bush II doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to selecting people. He seems to make judgements based on personality and friendship rather than character or ideology, e.g. Tom Kean and Alberto Gonzales.

Conservatives like me put in George Bush II in office - twice. "Moderates" did everything they could to defeat him. He owes us and what he owes us more than anything else are conservatives on the Supreme Court. Its his RESPONSIBILITY to fight for candidates who practise judicial restraint and adhere to original intent. Those are two of the very basic elements which define conservativism vis-a-vis liberalism in modern political thought. And they are reflective of the opinions of most Americans on this subject.


"It really should not matter what the personal ideology of our appointees may be, so long as they recognize that their ideology should have no role in the decisional process – i.e., so long as they believe in judicial restraint."

Judicial restraint is, in itself, an ideology.

Our accelerating departure from that ideology is destroying our Republic as surely as the actions of the Senators and Demogogues of the 1st century B.C. destroyed the Roman Republic.

All I can say is wait and see.

Time will tell whether this analysis is true or not. I don't want to support or outright reject what Farah says.

If he's wrong great

If he's right, the only people who are going to look like fools are those calling him foolish now.
