Many of the people here, who are the MOST strident about this, NEVER were Bush supporters and have complained, often bitterly, about every word, deed, and nonword or nondeed, for the past 5+ years. They say that they'll never vote for him again ( which is patently ridiculous, as he can't run for president again ! ) and/or that they'll never vote GOP again; which is also a stupid thing to say. Many are fringers and idiotically promote voting fringe I( they aren't even third party! )candidates.
Before Roberts got the nod and the hysterics here were throwing themselves on a pyre, screaming that it was going to be Gonzales, I kept telling them that they were damned dead wrong. They were and I was correct. I am also correct about Roberts. :-)
There isn't a thing ANYONE HERE can do to derail Roberts' nomination! It's a fete acomplee.
Mon cher ami, ceci devrait être un "accompli de fait" ou "fait accompli."
