President Bush has chosen federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. as his nominee to the Supreme Court, a senior administration official says...

[JewishRighter]

I love the quote. Guess what's going to be front and center in the RATs attack at the Judiciary hearings? That quote. From what I hear so far, he's smart enough to deal with them.

"Interesting. Not female. Not "diverse"."

Yes...not gay, not minority, not handicapped, not female, not abused by his father (not that we've heard), not a lifelong victim of the "vast right-wing conspiracy".

How can he possibly be "qualified"?

[Stellar Dendrite]

The rove story ahs already run its course, besides, destroying the character of a potential justice is more important.

[Noumenon]

Perhaps that fat, crypto-fascist putz Ted Kennedy will have a debilitating stroke over this. We could but hope. His last few years as a drooling vegetable would be fitting karma with respect to a certain Mary Jo Kopechne.

Who is this Nancy Grace on CNN? She's building this up like a boxing match ...

[Halls]

Great choice. Wonder how he feels about what happend to Terri Schiavo?

[k2blader]

Savage read from something that Roberts "believes Roe v. Wade was decided wrongly".

:-)

Nothing wrong with holding Bush's feet to the fire.

However, give credit where it is due, this is a great pick. Far more conservative than I expected.

[MahaMarty]

That it should be a state issue, probably.

[mainepatsfan]

The Dems may have backed themselves into a corner. Another brilliant Rove plot!

[humblegunner]

You scored that from Drudge?
You do realize of course that he is a hackneyed fool?

The flashy-siren-thing dazzled you, huh?

[TAquinas]

"Roberts is much better."

I hope he's a true conservative, ie a paleoconservative, and is against illegal immigration and for the closing of our Southern borders to third world aliens.

Agree. This will be a battle. However, I heard Lindsay Graham on Hannity and he appeared to have grown a pair. Did anyone else hear this? He said that the "understanding" was DEFINITELY that a USSC position was not an "extreme circumstance," and that (this was before Roberts' name was out there) that he (Graham) "expected" the President to name a "solid conservative," because that was what he was elected to do.

I swear, I thought I was listening to John Kyl!!

[savedbygrace]

Thank you for finding this. It's very good news.

[SunnyUsa]

They are absolutely losing it on DU - it's hilarious - reminds me of the great depression of election night! :))

[sofaman]

Liberal tendencies? You can't please some folks...

Btw, it's "sniveling", not sniffling...if you're going to insult someone, it's best not to look stupid when doing so...

[chiller]

This white male hopes Ms. Janice Brown makes it to the SC before W leaves office.

[jveritas]

If President Bush would have picked a clone of Scalia they will say that President Bush sold us out.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

All i can say is He he he he he he he

"Judge Roberts is a member of the Elect, having clerked for the renowned Judge Henry J. Friendly of the Second Circuit, followed by then-Associate Justice Rehnquist. His professional achievements, including over 30 Supreme Court arguments, are literally incredible; you can read about them here (and then go off and wallow in your own inferiority)."

Thank, you sir.

This is why Free Republic beats watching any news including Fox.
