Bull.
He is a moderate... just not in the sense we've become used to the word, lately. By an objective standard, O'Connor is a flaming-, left-wing nut job, calling for obeisance to international law and defining the purpose of government as to function as a sex cult for healing through exploring deviant practices. So, although Roberts is way to the right of O'Connor, he is still a moderate. Of course, by that defniition, Renquist is also a moderate.
Interesting violation of stare decisis. Think we should tell Roberts?

Hmmm... I never tought about that, but I do believe you are correct... It looks like there will necessarily be many 4-4 decisions. GOP has to make this point when arguing for a fast hearing.
the 2006 elections? How long do they think people's attention span is? And if they delay it that long, they will be viewed as even more obstructionist than they are.
I've always considered it the "Potter Stewart seat." :0)
