Not having the oppertunity to listen to the entire testimony I'm not able to tell if this reporter is engaging in wishful thinking on a grand scale or if the report is true.

Comments?

He is playing to the middle, Kennedy , Biden and Schumer are Unhappy!

[Mount Athos]

I see him habitually butchering quotes, where the quote ends and half the statement is filled in with his own paraphrases. He is twisting Robert's statements and viewpoints severely.

You can't trust Business Week under any circumstances. They letter a top DNC guy write a nonsense attack on President Bush for making Katrina worse by dergulating telecom.

And they didn't tell anyone his political background or huge donations.

In effect, Roberts was telling the Senate that just because a right isn't spelled out in the Constitution doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

I agree 100%.

[Sir Gawain]

"The Framers chose to use broad language [in the Constitution], and we should take them at their word."

Well that's good to hear Roberts!

"On every question of construction [of the Constitution] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Justice William Johnson, June 12, 1823, The Complete Jefferson, p 322

Roberts has read Holmes and probably Dewey.
