The jury's still open on Roberts. And as Farah, notes even if Roberts votes with Alito, Scalia and Thomas, that gives conservatives only four solid votes. We're still a long way from having control over the SCOTUS. But the Alito nomination is a step in the right direction in terms of overcoming judicial activism.

Your right, the jury is still out on Roberts. I think that Farah is simply expressing his concern that Roberts will not be in the mold of Rehnquist, let alone Scalia or Thomas. Stealth nominees have NEVER been good picks from GOP presidents. Time will only tell on Roberts. If he does break left, we will have the next 30-40 years to regret it. I feel a whole lot more confident with the verifiable track record of Samuel Alito. President Bush redeemed himself with this excellent pick, but I also hope it dosen't simply up cancelling out Roberts nomination if Roberts would end up being another stealth moderate-liberal.
