I'd say there's a lot of nervious FReepers that owe GWB a hugh apology, thankfully.

Yep lots of nervous nellies with little faith.

I don't disagree, but you know what, I don't care! I'm still doing the Happy Snoopy Dance!

I have not been following this today, I have been out all day.

Tell me, who do most people think 'W' will nominate tonight??

Thanks.

I hope Dubya supports his nominee better than he did Ashcroft and those appellate nominees, when Bush was a total no-show and left them out to dry. Still, I don't see that the Dems have the stomach for a real filibuster of an SC candidate.

This is definitely a lose-lose for the Dems. I just hope he isn't another "Anthony Kennedy Conservative".

Where's the line - I want to get in it! A hugh and series mea culpa. Happy to be wrong. My only caveat is after the glow of the pick, how hard does W (and especially the GOP Senate) fight? That's where the rubber meets the road.

Don't bet on many apologies, I've already read a half dozen posts denouncing Bush for this choice. But those are the types of people who go to movies their friends recommended so they can be the one person who says "I didn't like it".

I stand by everything I said in opposition to Clements, none of which was personally attacking Dubya, so he won't be getting one from me. And I haven't found any Roberts cases on the DC Court to establish a track record, either.

However, if Roberts is as conservative on the SCOTUS as he seems to be based on his prior briefs for H.W., I will owe Dubya a thank-you for delivering on his promise to appoint a Scalia or a Thomas. And I will happily send that in as soon as Roberts has ruled on a case from the SCOTUS that would demonstrate his bent. I am still examining his record.

I think, before that, I already owe the President a thank-you for ending the reign of affirmative action in SCOTUS appointments. Far, far better to appoint a plain ol' white guy and demonstrate that the pick is not for a 'woman's seat' on the Court, but for the SCOTUS. I think it was very smart to save the big guns for the next pick. The Prez once again proves his political savvy.

So, this looks to be very good news, and I am certainly happy it's NOT Clements--but I am still researching Roberts' record, before I say it IS good news.

A "HUGH" apology indeed!!! Oh ye of little faith!!

To sum up this choice in just one word, I'd say: BRILLIANT!!


WAY TO GO "W" !!!
