You don't know what Roberts' judicial philosophy is either

John G. Roberts, Jr said the following during his confirmation hearings about is judicial philosophy:
"If the Constitution says that the little guy should win, then the little guy's going to win in the court before me," Roberts told senators. "But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well then the big guy's going to win because my obligation is to the Constitution."

Harriet Miers will make the same kind of responses. Roberts reply could not have been anything else. The questions are predictable and so are the responses. Candidates as smart as Roberts and I think Harriet Miers too just aren't going to screw up when being questioned by light weights like Schumer, Kennedy and rino Arlen Specter.

Damn Harriet Miers' oily hide for not revealing her philosophy as Roberts so bravely did! Oh, wait... confirmation hearings haven't started yet, so she couldn't have done so.

I guarantee you that during the Miers hearings, Miers will say something similar to what Roberts said about interpreting the Constitution the way it is written. But I doubt that the irate conservatives will say, "OK, now we know what she stands for."

They've already made up their minds.
