Levin knows Roberts work and the man, from the time both worked for the same president. Mark is also far above Ann, in his knowledge of Constitutional law and the SCOTUS.

Luttig, who some here wanted to be the nominee, without knowing ANYTHING about his paper trail, is one of Roberts' oldest and best friends.One of them, I forget which now, but I think it was Luttig,was the BEST MAN at the other's wedding. So yes, I would say that they know each other quite well !

An is NOT correct on this. She was just being a bloody bomb thrower. She hadn't done any research at all and has now, reneged on some of her statements and tempered her positions.

The president has every intention of fulfilling his promise to put a Conservative originalist on the courts of this nation; including SCOTUS. Unlike Souter and yes, O'Connor, Roberts IS a well known commodity in D.C.! He's worked for Republican presidents, in private practice, and has done more cases in SCOTUS, than any other lawyer...39, of which he has won 25.

Rehnquist was his mentor.

You are one of the extremists here, for whom nobody is far right enough and nothing this president does, is ever good enough. The die is cast; just suck it up and when Roberts is proved to be a Conservative Constitutionalist/originalists, I'm going to beat you over the head with I TOLD YA SOs; if you're still here.

Put me on that bump list. I'll be honored to be bashed on the head by you when it happens.

Of course, I'm not sure what all the Roberts naysayers actually expect us to do about his nomination now anyway. I think the train has left the station.

The problems is we've heard this in the past. O'Conner was a close personal friend of Renquist. Blackmun was nominated because Burger vouched for him to Nixon. They were also close personal friends - until Blackmun turned out to be a liberal democrat. Of course, Luttig is going to support him. Do all of Luttig's friends agree 100 percent with his Judicial philosophy?

Ann keeps making the same point. And you keep missing it.
Its completely irrelevant who's friends with who or who went to who's wedding. And frankly, I don't give a D**n that he has a nice family, argued 500 cases at the SCOTUS, has an IQ of 200, went to Harvard, or any of that nonsense. You can probably say the same thing about Ginsberg and Breyer.

You write like a liberal. Ann is a "bomb-thrower", I'm a "right-wing Extremist". Kind of a funny way for a so-called conservative to write. Yeah, I'm an extremist just like Reagan, Coulter, Novak, Malkin, NR, and Human Events. Pretty soon you'll be calling her a "fascist" and me a "reactionary racist".

BTW, You and others keep talking about how "Coulter has NOT done her research" or "knows nothing". Well, who are you? Whats your support for that? Are you a friend of Roberts? An expert in his Judicial career? Or are you just parroting something you heard on TV>
