It does matter. And especially to you.
This is a forum of ideas. (as I know you are fully aware) People do not need to agree, but you, I and every other member of FR need to do it.
I know it doesnt matter what I think, but we dont know enough about Roberts to place him in the top job for life. If he is appointed we have him for maybe 40 years. Thats too long for someone we dont know that much about.
He sounds like he's a decent, honorable, thoughtful man. FWIW, that's enough for me :)
"We don't know enough abuot Roberts" ??? Freepers are beginning to sound like Democrats. That's their reasoning for opposing him - but it doesn't make sense because the Dem's vehement opposition suggests otherwise. They indeed do know about Roberts and they do not like the thought of him being on the court at all. It seeme that we conservatives can infer some positive attributes to Judge Roberts merely by the tone and nature of his enemies.
I cannot give the radical liberals on the Senate Judicial committee that much credit with trying to pull a Bre'r Rabbit on us.

I know enough about him.
You've read my mind.
I agree. We don't know enough about Roberts to be appointing him CJ!
Justice Scalia would have been my choice.
Looks like W just wants to get some of this 'over with', rather than go through 3 appointments/hearings/votes.
