I am a conservative.

I heard everything Roberts said.

Uneducated liberals and lib-Republican media whores translate some of Roberts statements to mean he is more of a moderate.

He is not moderate.

He is brilliant and conservative.

He toyed with the liberals on the panel.

His analysis of the Constitution and the judges role in applying is exactly what we need on the court.

It was as solid as anything Thomas or Scalia has ever said.

Amen.

Sorry my comment should have read I am a conservetive and I am worried about Roberts, not Franks, I could care less about Franks.

It isn't that I am not a true conservetive it is just we have been burned before. And it is my hope that Bush gets at least two more appointments to the court before he leaves office. Oh, and while I am hoping I hope that it is the leftist loons that he gets to replace.

"Conservative" only in the sense that he's rather inclined to conserve the gains that liberals have made on the court. He practically came out and said that there could be cases where he'd consider the precedent unconstitutional, but would uphold it anyway in the interests of "stability".

"moderate" hmmm. I think what we have here is Wishful Thinking; Hope Against Hope; hoping Saying It Makes It So.

He toyed with the liberals on the panel.

I saw no notes. He never looked anywhere except directly at the questioner. He never once lost his temper or his composure.

Incredibly impressive.
