Roberts is synonym for Souter...

It is my firm belief that George Bush is not enough of a conservative to nominate a judge who will allow Roe v. Wade to be overturned or gay marriage/civil unions to be banned.

We shall see, but my fellow social conservatives, I believe we've been had.

Bush could be saving the real conservative for when Rehnquist retires.

This disturbs me.

Nothing to this point has, but this does.

Because the Constitution clearly did not prohibit this law.

"John probably didn't recall [the case] because he didn't play as large a role in it as he did in others," Smith told the Times yesterday. "I'm sure John has a record somewhere of every case he ever argued, and Romer he did not argue. So he probably would have remembered it less."

Is that the best the LA Times has on Roberts?

Maybe Ann Coulter is right.

You know, I wonder how much Cheney had to do with his pick.

Well, according to WND, we are just 2 days away from nuclear terror attacks all over the country anyway.

Makes pro bono work for homos a moot point.

I think many FReepers owe Ms Anne Coulter an apology. She was dead right. When Conservatives rule the Presidency, Congress and State legislatures, they should appoint strict constructionist Conservatives to the Court without embarrassment, apology or defensiveness. Elections have consequences. But but appointing a moderate like Roberts over a Luttig or Brown, Bush ignored the results of the elections, which overwhelming endorsed Conservative values.

Romer was not Lawrence or Goodrich, so I think we have to look at the specifics of the issue in this case and not conclude necessarily that Roberts supports imposition of the full gay activist agenda by judges. On the other hand, let's hope that this was at most a momentary lapse, that he is still a true conservative, and that this will just help him get approved.

Dear God, thank you for posting this up. The fact that so many so called "conservative" and "pro-life" outfits have jumped on the Roberts bandwagon before we even know anything about him, declaring him not to be another Souter, is shameful. But then again, considering the state of the conservative and pro-life movements, not shocking at all. Thank you very much again.

I'm beginning to fell like a deacon of a church that's in a town overrun by prostitution and gambling. My church has gone looking long and hard for a dynamic young minister who will preach the Lord's word and try to stop the gambling and prostitution. We've just interviewed a really promising young man. Then the cops raid the worst bordello/casino in town and they catch our young minister candidate naked, dead drunk, and with his pants' pockets stuffed with chips.

I think this is a plant story now. The left is in a panic since it is apparent Roberts was going to get approved.

For anyone who does not know, when you are preparing to argue an appeal it is important to practice.

You get volunteers to act as the Judges and just go through the case having the pretend judges shoot questions at you. It is a valuable practice too.

It is not case specific.

It should also be noted that pro bono cases are also used by law firms to give valuble courtroom practice time to attorneys. Most cases settle so getting to argue in a courtroom has value. Pro Bono cases are such a tool.

Spending a few hours as a pretend judge in a mock appelate panel is hardly a devastatingly unique help. Whoever is calling the help "crucial" is just playing concervatives for suckers.

Did roberts sign his name on any papers? NO
did roberts write any pleadings? NO
Did Roberts edit any draft briefs? Apparently not.

This is a stinky rat trick at this point. We need to call the Rats on this trick.
