Bush could be saving the real conservative for when Rehnquist retires.
I'm shocked you guys are just so quick to jump on the bandwagon to bash Roberts based on this article.
I thought that lawyers had to do a job and whether they always agree with something they are working or not is not relevant. You want a lawyer that can be a good team player and keep an open mind.
Lawyers and judges have different obligations and different jobs. Am I missing something here on the clear differences between Lawyers and Judges???
I think Roberts is going to be a fine judge. I also think the left is running scared and will say/do anything to get the right all worked up about Roberts. Just think about all the crap coming out right now about him (the adoption, bs comparision to kennedys etc)
Replacing O'Connor with an O'Connor clone and replacing Rehnquist with a conservative doesn't change the balance of the court at all. We're stuck with possibly 25 more years of far left-wing judicial activism and the continued erosion of our respresentative Republican.
Bush and the Republicans can only get away with this if conservatives let them. Conservatives as a whole need to get a backbone or we might just as well give up.
