President Bush has chosen federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. as his nominee to the Supreme Court, a senior administration official says...
Age: 50?
Isn't that a bit old? I was hoping for a strict constructionist under the age of 25.
Per DRUDGE:
Roberts: 'No support in the text, structure or history of the Constitution' for legal reasoning in Roe vs Wade...
CNN - Claiming Roberts will be a big swing vote...
Good choice, a solid double, but really a missed opportunity for a grand slam home run.
Figured that. Just pinging anyway.
Conservative enough for you? Ready to wager on passage?
Dems HEADS Exploding all over!!!
Click click BOOM!!!
From what I gather, he is very pro-Constitution.
Right here slim, glad to be wrong.
Levin approves, and he's a member of the Federalist Society.
Good combo!
That's the plan.
Good for you. Now this opens the door for him to appoint Brown or Jones or Clement for the Rehnquist fill, and we still have Stevens considering retirement and Ruth Buzzi ill. Hmmmm. Can you say most conservative court in 50 years?
I would have been ecstatic with Ms. Brown but I am a happy man tonight. Our man "Dubya" came through "big-time."
Game on!
In your face Liberal low-lifes!
Do you actually believe Roe V Wade will be repealed? Really?
He's young,,,with a Rehnquist background,,,with a Reagan background......SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!!!!
Yes, and it was certain Bush would nominate a woman, a minority or Gonzales.
You have no credibility, nor do any that raised these unfounded accusations. The President just shot down his critics, he is due an apology.
One of the beautiful things about this pick is that when the left goes into their pouting mode about "diversity," it'll show just how superficial their standards are.
I believe that as deputy solicitor general in 1989 he argued that Roe is unconstitutional.
