FV, Don't give up on John Roberts yet. He has a good background. I am far more concerned about the next appointee and really wonder if that will be a more moderate, plunging us back into what we have now.

What I suspect is that we will all be tickled pink at Roberts, a real good bone tossed to us and then a moderate will slip in without our grasping the implication, and neutralize any perceived gains.

In the case of John Roberts, he was practically a kid, raised in a good Catholic environment when he wound up in the Reagan White House. Clarence Thomas at this same time was a White House Coordinator and he turned out OK. The real Reagan people did fine. I would guess he was too young to have the firm imprints of Bush identity and most likely benefited from the Reagan environment anyway. I do not have direct knowledge of that formative period, but soon will. We will know soon enough.

We Reaganites tried to help out the Bush people at times and remained pretty much separate in identity. Nobody ever accused me of being a Bush person, certainly not the Bush people.

Right now, as Terri's legacy teaches us, the danger of Judicial Tyranny is paramount. I can think of nothing more important to our continuance as a nation created by our forefathers than the resettling of the Supreme Court and our Judiciary back into its intended role.

I haven't given up on Roberts. The Tampa Tribune provides me with details that might not make it outside the state of Florida. There's something almost every day about Terri. There's another article today about Fox & Friends. Apparently, they had that medium Jonathan Edwards on while Terri was still alive. Edwards said that Terri was definitely aware of what was happening around her.

Well, we knew that and we aren't psychics. But, that was in today's Tampa Tribune. Every single day, Terri is mentioned somewhere. I can't believe that it's not just us posting here trying to change the law. This is still news.

Fla House Spkr Allen Bense was certainly wrong about Terri being forgotten, wasn't he?

I've been thinking like you for a long time, that Bush would give conservatives a Constructionalist with his first pick, and the next time he picks a nominee, might pick someone like his friend Gonzales. Hope I'm wrong.

The next time someone from SCOTUS resigns, we need to keep the pressure on. Maybe next time we need to contact Karl Rove, as well as President Bush, because Rove as a political person, knows this will define the Republican Party.
