Linking this to the LIVE THREAD 2
I think that it is highly likely that this pick is designed to take as much heat as possible away from the Plame scandal, and the trail where her outing might lead.
This cannot fly. I am so freaking angry. That sorry MFer * is giving the finger to all of us. Oooh I hate him.
Honestly canada is looking better all the time.
This is so scary!!! God I hope Reid, Boxer and the rest stand up for us!
those who support choice, environmental protections, and freedom from theocracy are screwed...

He worked on the stealing of Bush's first election in FL in 2000, so this must have been in the works since then. Plus, if Bush nominated him that's enough for me to know he will help secure the Bush dictatorship.
The right wingers want someone like 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Michael Luttig--who in 1998 granted a stay that allowed a Virginia ban on late-term abortion to go into effect. Or D.C. Circuit Court Judge John Roberts--who, as deputy solicitor general for the Bush Sr. administration, helped craft a policy that barred doctors and clinics receiving federal funds from discussing the possibility of abortion with their patients.
Finally, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, another group that has played a substantial role in opposing Bush nominees, has purchased stopestrada.com, for Miguel Estrada, President Bush's filibustered nominee to a place on D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and stoproberts.com, for Judge John Roberts.
A BRILLIANT PICK FROM EVERY ANGLE!!!
John Roberts:
A home run for the president, the SCOTUS, and for the United States.

John Roberts: A home run for the president, the SCOTUS, and for the United States.
Judge John Roberts may be the smartest lawyer I have known, and he combines that intellect with a graciousness and good humor that will make it hard for any except the most extreme ideolouges to oppose him. Here's his bio, but it cannot fully convey the great intellectual force which Justice Roberts will bring to the SCOTUS.
Full disclosure: Judge Roberts and I were colleagues in the White House Counsel's Office in 1985/1986...
