That will be too late. She'll be as ridiculed for dissing Roberts as Quayle was for misspelling potato.
If Roberts really does turn out to be another Scalia or Thomas, I'm sure Ann Coulter will be first in line to praise him when his rulings start coming in. However, I don't hear too many people saying Roberts is another Scalia or Thomas, which I'm sure infuriates Coulter with the GOP controlling both the White House and the Senate.

No one is saying it, that's for sure. They are rationalizing it between big gulps of kool aid.
That won't save her from being a laughingstock, any more than spelling "potato" correctly after the fact would have saved Dan Quayle.

That will be to late, by the time Roberts is handing down decisions, it won't matter if Ann or anybody else is criticizing or praising him.
The critical time to support or criticize is *NOW*, because *now* is the time that determines whether he gets there or not, that's the critical time for people to either lend their support or undermine the effort.
People don't get credit for praising D-Day if all they did prior to that day is talk about how it wasn't a good idea. Victory is made by people who work to make it happen, not by people who can in hindsight appreciate it.
