SOUTER IN ROBERTS CLOTHING, ANN COULTER

[Always Right]

Roberts is as rock-solid as Luttig or Jones? Do tell, I am aching to believe you but I have not seen anything yet that convinces me.

Post 86 has a pretty good biography of the guy. This guy being nothing but a great asset on the court, IMHO.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Isn't it funny how Ann can write this column and I see very few attacks on her? I see posts like "gee, i disagree with ann" or "ann, i love you, but you're wrong here". Anyone lately who disagrees with this president gets attacked like no other and labeled as a buchananite, a bush hater, and so on.
Dont forget with the stupid threads posted yesterday saying ARE YOU GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR THINKING BUSH WOULD PICK THE WORNG GUY??

I'm not saying roberts is the right guy or wrong guy, it's just interesting how these kool aid drinkers react.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Great. I hope you're right. I was only asking for links to source information. I don't put faith in hearsay.

[Always Right]

If you'll accept anecdotal evidence, a rock-solid conservative co-worker of mine worked with him for several years & swears this is the best choice Bush could have made.

Every conservative that knows him seems to love him. I really don't see where the concern is here.

[El Gato]

Not exactly the picture of health, is she. Needs more meat on those bones IMO.

She's fine, she's just an extreme ectomorph with a very high metabolism. Probaby can't eat enough to make herself gain weight if she tries.

ectomorph (ec·to·morph) (ek¢to-morf)

an individual having a type of body build in which tissues derived from the ectoderm predominate: there is a preponderance of linearity and fragility, with large surface area, thin muscles and subcutaneous tissue, and slightly developed digestive viscera, as contrasted with endomorph and mesomorph

[TexasGreg]

The CJ also gets to preside over impeachment trials

Which may be of supreme importance when the next Democrat takes office.

[Mad Mammoth]

"Please, PLEASE think about increasing your carb intake and put some MEAT on dem bones!!!!"
Leave Ann alone. As she gets older she will naturally get fatter. Enjoy the thinness while it lasts.

Enjoy WHAT? ;)

I heard his wife is involved with Feminists for Life -- which would be a good sign.

President Bush's wife, the lovely and gracious First Lady Laura Bush, appears to be pro choice to a certain degree. Are you sure about that sign you made reference to?

[rollo tomasi]

And why are we just focusing on abortion?

Yes Roe v Wade is bad decision but where are Roberts view of gun rights, personal property, taxes, Judicial activism, international law, Marbury vs. Madison etc... other able candidates have been on record (Public Speeches) displaying?

[borkrules]

There are nowhere near enough pictures of Ann on this thread.

You people know the rules.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I thought that there were some posts yesterday saying that Ann Coulter was behind him.

Ann could stand behind a firepole and you still couldn't see her.

[rog4vmi]

I thoroughly agree with you on this. I expected that she would write something with a little more substance...considering the fact that she is a lawyer and was a judicial clerk.

[Willie Green]

Plus he was paid to write briefs and argue before the Court, money is the ultimate ideology equalizer.

And corporate globalization is Dubya's litmus test.
Despite Roberts' Federalist Society credentials, I suspect he'll likely subordinate our Constitution and sovereignty to international regulatory institutions such as the WTO

[Dead Corpse]

Well, since you seem to know this guy personally, can you clue us in to how he feels about the Second Amendment? Collective or Individual? Infringable or "shall not be infringed"?

It's my litmus test issue.

If you've got the back story on this guy, spill the beans. Educate us. Right now, even a Google search ain't turning up much but FR articles and Lame Stream Press Barvo Sierra. That makes me nervous. Hopeful, but nervous.

[Mo1]

Ummm nice rant Ann ... but you don't like Roberts because of what reasons ????

[Steve_Seattle]

"She's a lightweight in every sense except her bank account. Her commercial success from selling strident books and views is hugh, but as a legal commentator she isn't series."

I'm not a big Coulter fan either; she often makes herself or her own exaggerated comments the issue. The libs pounce on her flippant comments, and then we never get back to the real issue. Sometimes I think she does more harm than good to the liberal cause. (And I don't think she's that great looking, either; kind of a horse face, in my opinion.)

[rwfromkansas]

I am shocked Ann wrote an article like this without doing any research or using her brain.

Roberts is not Souter 2. Just isn't.

That's it.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Sometimes I think she does more harm than good to the liberal cause."

Of course, I meant "conservative cause."

[Texas Federalist]

Yeah, appointing truck drivers to the Court is a great idea. Where do you come up with this stuff?

[kellynla]

oh I agree that that the fact that Roberts has actually been in the private sector is advantageous, it's just that for someone going to the Supremes, I would have liked a candidate with a little more judicial experience from whom I could better determine their judicial philosophy
