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

Another very good sign.

I don't like his position on illegal Searches in violation of the 4th Amendment

Lets hope his observance of the Constitution outweighs his like for police powers. Scalia also tends to like police power. That seems to be Robert's only downside, which is no big deal if he is a true Constitutionalist.

Bork lost me when he took Reno's side in the microsoft case....

Bork was not pro-Reno. Bork was anti-Microsoft. And for good reason.

Because conservatives should not be soft on criminals just because said criminals make big money.

No, we could hire Felos to pull the plug!!!

Bitter Dana Milbank spewing loads of BS on MSNBC. "Clearly this was moved up 2 weeks to push the Rove story off the front pages. Confirmed by all kinds of conservative sources." "Clearly the leak of Clements was a purposeful plot to fool the media. The White House fingerprints are all over this."

Oh how I hope this smarmy slanderer gets called before the Grand Jury, lies, and goes to jail.

What's probably enraging them even more is that they know how happy we are over here!

[alisasny]

LOL those same idiots who will sit out or not vote for the GOP candidate thus assuring a President Hillary....


Damn I hate them folks.....

[Clump]

Why was Arlen reported as pleased???

Because the President told him to be pleased. hehe

[frogjerk]

Although, I would have been happy with Ms. Brown.

You may get your wish when Renquist resigns... :}

[Fawn]

Is this for real? He is young.

Thank you :)

Voted for rehearing in a case about whether a developer had to take down a fence so that the arroyo toad could move freely through its habitat. Roberts argued that the panel was wrong to rule against the developer because the regulations on behalf of the toad, promulgated under the Endangered Species Act, overstepped the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce.

That's too funny!

New Republic online has some nice things to say about this guy, calling him someone who "represented liberal positions" (in favor of affirmative action, against broad property rights,(pro) on behalf of prisoners' rights Etc.)

Betcha Lindsay's been doing alot of private polling since his gang of 7 shennanigans.

[JewishRighter]

I agree with you. It's a little unlikely to put a new guy straight in the top chair. Still, I'm hoping that he will pick a more solid conservative and if it must be a Hispanic person, I'd rather see Estrada.

[ClancyJ]

It will take no time before they trounce on Bush for not selecting a woman.

Or a minority. AND......then Bush gives them what they want on a future pick. And, then how do they complain?

[Sender]

They are all unknowns, really. All we have to look at is their record, and trust the President's evaluation of their character.

[Clump]

DUers in political hell brings a wide smile to my face.

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