The Presidents who appointed Souter, Kennedy, O'Connor, and Earl Warren for that matter, did NOT KNOW those Justices personally when appointing them.

Outstanding point, Congressman Billybob. Thank you.

We still do not know about Roberts. In the final analysis, we took him on faith. So did President Bush, and all the conservative glitterati. Now many of those same glitterati have turned into a howling mob, willing to throw everything away if they can just destroy Harriet Miers.

The mob does not know either Roberts or Miers. But President Bush knows Harriet Miers. Either President Bush is worthy of trust, or he is not. I choose to trust the President.

I trust President Bush to appoint the most conservative person he can get confirmed.

Politics sucks.

Good point, Jim.

Roberts had a relevant paper trail. He was not "taken on faith."
