Much of the debate on this thread is irrelevant. For instance, did Captain Kirk ever on *Star Trek" say "Beam me up, Scottie"? No, he never said those precise words. However, he clearly expressed that concept a few hundred times.

There is no question that Bush promised to appoint Justices who will enforce the law, rather than rewrite the law. There is no question that Scalia and Thomas are that kind of Justice. That is clear about Thomas now, but was NOT clear publicly when he was appointed.

It is clear that Roberts is that kind of Justice, based not on his statements at the hearing, but on his prior cases. As for Miers, I say wait for the hearings. Nothing useful can be accomplished prior to that time.

Well, I was just trying to find out if the "in the mold of Scalia" quote attributed to George W. Bush was accurate. Apparently, it's not. Next thing you know they'll be telling us George Washington didn't actually say, "I cannot lie. I did chop down that cherry tree." Politics is soooo ugly.
