Remember the joke, if there's one lawyer in town, he drives an old, beat-up car; if there's two lawyers in town, they both drive Mercedes (or whatever brand of over-priced car you choose to insert).
Well, there are attorneys smart enough to keep their noses clean, especially considering the fact that conservatives being named to any important court will probably have private eyes nosing through their proverbial trash. Perhaps Roberts is one of them.
We all know conservatives who are great on paper, but just don't hold any star power or can't think on their feet. Then, there are those who can really hold their own -- it's just they aren't invited to be in the public eye very much, for obvious reasons -- the MSM wouldn't want to persuasively put both sides out there, after all.
We'll just have to see. While I agree with the fabulous Ms. Coulter that it would be nice to see a string of fiery conservative speeches by Roberts at Federalist Luncheon's at Tony Cheng's or at the Heritage Foundation, perhaps he was smart enough to hold his tongue for when it counts.
Heck, think about that Loser John Heinz-Kerry, filming himself in action poses in Vietnam...he was thinking ahead. Is it impossible that an honest conservative thought ahead, and it's paying dividends now? One can hope this is the case for Roberts.

A very very well measure post. I dearly, fervently hope, really HOPE, you are dead right, and I am needlessly worrying. I simply don't trust the MSM/demorat slime the slightest bit; and they are not uncomfortable enough in this case for my read on the cards on the table. But I don't play poker much anymore.
