There is an awful lot of truth to what you say. Actually, I'd think that Gonzalez has a paper trail far more evident than Roberts' was.

An a conservative scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being rabidly conservative, I'd give O'Connor about a 4 or 4+.

I give Gonzalez a 6.

I gave unknown Roberts only a 7.

Rehnquist was about an 8.

Therefore, Roberts/Gonzalez would be MORE conservative than was Rehnquist/O'Connor.

I would welcome Gonzalez. And it doesn't hurt that he's hispanic.

I have no idea what Gonzales is all about. Other than the media is doing all in their power to destroy him and his reputation.

The confirmation hearings were quite instructive.
