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

I remember you! You were that snotty kid with the permanent pout sitting in a pile of birthday candy telling everyone that it was just going to give you a tummy ache!

OHHH! I DO like that post, thanks!

Ping Again!

In 1982 President Reagan appointed Mr. Roberts to the White House Staff as Associate Counsel to the President, a position in which he served until joining Hogan & Hartson in 1986.

Will Roberts get any Iran-Contra questions?

Oh ye, of little faith, weren't you caviling, just last night, about how positive you were, that the president was going to nominate another Soutter? LOL

[Redleg Duke]

Thank you! I knew you would let us down! I knew you could find a flaw in heaven!

So far, (from what I've been able to understand about the judicial 'leanings' of John Roberts) I think President Bush's selection will probably make Teddy want to have a little drink. And then another one. And another...

I know, I know. What doesn't cause that reaction by TK? :o)

Well of course. Smoke a good one now, and the best one later.

[milagro]

Me too!

Mark. And Hugh Hewitt.

Keep up the beatings for the good of America. Nothing like firm republicans pounding one of the squishy ones before it runs for re election.

I'm looking to see. I couldn't find anything from the 5th circuit case that he was on.

Only thing I saw was one high road post that was negative on guns, and that poster wasn't sure if it was that particular judge.

On a positive note, the Alliance for Justice hate his guts, and they are radical gun grabbers.

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.

Hush your mouth. You have unanswered questions waiting on you.

It won't be forgotten.

What was he thinking!

What he was thinking is that we have anti-trust laws and have them for a good reason. Those of us who are more on the libertarian / civil liberties side of the conservative spectrum believe that big business is to be trusted very little more than big government.

Bork is quite alright in my book for it.

Glad you like it..I posted on #474 his wife is vice president at Feminists for life.

[proud American in Canada]

I think W will pick a female for that position...known as Janice Brown

I hope so...

[Recovering_Democrat]

I hope JR Brown is the replacement candidate for Rehnquist: Scalia takes the CJ seat, JR becomes the Junior Justice. Oh, man, would that ROCK!!!

Please, have faith. Not in my lifetime. :)

I love it!
