Everyone that talked about leaving the Republican Party before the President got the chance to mention his pick should hang their heads in shame.

I'm wondering which Hollywood idiots are going to start injecting themselves into this. I'm guessing the first ones will be those w/legal degrees &/or those who claim to have ever wanted to become an atty. IIRC, the late Gregory Peck narrated an anti-Bork commercial during that fight, so maybe it will just be more pompous elitists w/good voices like him.

I think Roberts is about as conservative as Rhenquist.

And Rhenquist on his worst days is awfully statist in his thinking, which is my big criticism of him - and Scalia, who can be awfully differential to stare decisis and to the Legislature over the constitution, despite his claims to be a fundamentalist.

Drat. I was hopin' for:

Not me. Bork is no Constitutionalist, he has taken the position that the 2nd Amendment does not protect an individual right. Ever strict constructionist believes it does, as does anyone who takes "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" to clearly indicate the intent of the authors.

"P.S. - What will it take to get you to seal up the borders??"

Hehehe. Another president. And I love this one, but everybody has a weakness. Reagan simply would not cut government or fight congress over the budget if it would hurt his popularity---which he needed to fight the commies.

Bush just has a blind spot when it comes to immigration.

McConnell or Roberts, I'm told both are CFR.

She'd have them wheel her into the chamber on an iron lung if it meant she'd keep Bush from nominating her replacement.

He most certainly will be confirmed. The minority party can only do so much.

He will have to. We simply can't afford to be mugged by the rats this time. We need to show them who's in the White House, and who's NOT.

My initial reaction: WHOO-HOO! I am absolutely delighted!

When all the names (Brown, Luttig, et al.) first were mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Roberts was my top choice. And from what I am hearing and seeing tonight, I am very pleased.

Thank you, President Bush! Now let's back this man and see him through.
