No One's Kicking Dirt On "Umpire" Roberts

Liberal critics of the fresh-faced Roberts, 50, and their conservative foes have been bombarding the airwaves and the press as they try to put their spin on a nominee who appears all but guaranteed to win confirmation to the high court. The full-frontal assault hasn't done much to sway Americans one way or another, but liberal groups intent on tripping up the nominee have instead suffered a few missteps of their own...

If the public miscues put the Left on the defensive, it showed in today's hearings. "Committee Democrats were much less acrimonious than I thought they would be, because a number of chits were used up by their Left-wing interest groups," says Leonard Leo, an informal adviser to the White House and a chief proponent of Roberts' confirmation. "The Left is in danger of overplaying its hand."

[Clintonfatigued]

It's looking good. The Democrats are taking their shots with less vigor than expected, and none of them are hitting their intended target.

[bikepacker67]

It's all about the NEXT nominee.

because of the Military who protect them.

Biden still looked like an idiot claiming filibuster after an response by Roberts was allowed to go uninterrupted for milliseconds.

[montomike]

Janice Rogers Brown!

Black, property rights, female.

It would be great to see the four Schmuckies attacking her.

[Reactionary]

"Biden still looked like an idiot claiming filibuster after an response by Roberts was allowed to go uninterrupted for milliseconds."

Biden acts like a thug, a fanatic. He's about as qualified to offer and opinion on judge Roberts as Ted Kennedy is to offer an opinion on chaste sobriety.

[leadhead]

It's all about the NEXT nominee.

So the Democrats say. But they're playing poker with the wrong Pres.

Be prepared to be shocked and awed.

He got Roberts almost pre-approved because the Dems were waiting for the CJ nomination and gave Roberts a pass in the press for the last few weeks.

If the Dems are saving their ammo, they'll have nothing to shoot at.

[N. Theknow]

"It's an open-minded country right now," says Ralph Neas, president of People for the American Way, which opposes Roberts.

How open-minded of him.

Liberals oppose him solely because they are bankrupt in the marketplace of ideas.

They are nothing more than a collage of negativism. So cowardly, they hide behind a screeching Harpy who is furious at her son for defying her, going to fight a war he saw as necessary and getting killed. She has become a certifiable lunatic, aided and abetted by a gaggle of spineless whiners and a MSM devoted to championing the cause of ideologies which continually fail, enslave and destroy individual initiative and morals.

Now, the last bastion of their power is tottering. The almighty court system where their ideas are pushed rather than popularized on a populace is in danger of being turned against them.

And what makes it so sweet? Their arch-nemesis - George W. Bush - will leave a real legacy that will be in front of them for decades.

Pull up a chair and pop a cork. This is the adult version of the melting witch of the West.

Thanks for your great post. I've bookmarked the site, and sent a thank-you e-mail. Again, thanks for the very helpful info.

"So the Democrats say. But they're playing poker with the wrong Pres."

I'll bet Ted Kennedy cheats at cards, too.

[SwinneySwitch]

"I'll bet Ted Kennedy cheats at cards, too."

Teddy cheats at solitaire!

[digger48]

Teddy cheats at solitaire!

don't ever play "gin" or "rummy" with him.

[jimfree]

I don't even see yet how this is setting up the next nominee ("Janice Rogers Brown" subliminal message "Janice Rogers Brown.")

She is definitely more published and spoken than Judge Roberts, but are they really going to beat up a black woman from the South?

Or perhaps this is the time to nominate a Judge Roberts-like person for the SDO slot. Any out there?

[Liberty Wins]

It's obvious the Dims have already lost. They're just putting on a show of beating up on Judge Roberts so the left-wing special interests will continue to pour in the campaign contributions.

[CFC__VRWC]

A missive of despair from the liberals at Business Weak. The frustration and desperation just oozes out from between the lines. Right now, I'm reminded me of the scene in the movie Aliens where the Marine lieutenant is just sitting paralyzed in shock while the aliens rip his squad to pieces. The Senate Dims are like that hapless LT, while the media is like Ripley shaking him and screaming at him to "DO SOMETHING!!!."

[The Therapist]

That is why Kennedy decided to go this direction:

The man's name is Leo Leo?

No, it's Leonard Leonard. Probably a Welsh fella with cousins named John Johns and William Williams.
