Isn't that a bit old? I was hoping for a strict constructionist under the age of 25.

Ben Shapiro doesn't have his law degree yet, otherwise he would be my choice. How old is Mark Levin? He would be awesome too.

Roberts: 'No support in the text, structure or history of the Constitution' for legal reasoning in Roe vs Wade...

Can't beat that

Hahaha...50 is good enough. If he's healthy (and I'm SURE that was asked of him), he's on for 30-40 good years.

ym opinion too, I believe he wanted Pres. Bush to be able to nominate one at a time. To un-complicate matters.

For myself, I don't give a whit for his "position" on abortion.

All I care about is where he stands on the Constitution of the United States of America and the sanctity of his Oath of Office.

Let's see if all the Bush bashers here now come out and apologize.

Absolutely not!!!

Bush has liberal tendencies and holding his feet to the fire is the only way move the conservative movement forward. Sniffling cowards like you accomplish nothing.

Be ever vigilant!!! Prepare to raise hell again if there is talk of replacing Renquist with Gonzales!!!!!

Who cares if they're white? As long as they're conservative, I couldn't give a damn what their race or sex is.

And neither should you.

Just my 2 cents.

Very good points, to which I agree.

Let's be clear.

IF, the RATs say Roberts is within the "Judicial Mainstream", it means he is another Souter/O'Connor--a flaming liberal.

IF, the RATs rant and rave and say they will filibuster because Roberts is "outside the judicial mainstream", then we have a good pick.

In that case, Roberts is Borked and we end up with another Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Regardless, it is impossible today to place a strict Constitutionalist on SCOTUS. We will someday have 9 Marxist interpreters who make new law.

Don't get your hopes up. We will end up with another kissin-cousin of Souter/Ginsberg.
