Unfortunately, they always have the gutter, being democrats. I am convinced to this day that they have everything that was in the Roberts' "sealed" adoption records. Many of us here on FR speculated that they would use information in those records to play the race card in the most vile way imaginable.

"We couldn't help but notice those beautiful children of yours, those beautiful white children that you adopted from South America. How many little black and brown babies did you pass over to get those two white children, Mr. Roberts? "

Now I'm convinced that this would backfire badly on them. However, I'm not convinced that they realize this, or that even if they do realize this, that they even care. Certainly their base doesn't care - they'll settle for nothing less than an all-out assault on Roberts, and damn the cost.

As far as the media's concerned, they're as bad as the lunatic left base. All that matters to them is their Bush hatred, and slaking their blood lust by tearing his SCOTUS nominee to shreds. And to their twisted way of thinking, what better time than now to play the race card, now that they've used Katrina to stir up the race pot?

I still say we ain't seen nothing yet, and there's a long way to go in this process.

Well, you could be right. Lunacy and vileness would be no surprise coming from the left. I do think however, that the adoption stuff is off limits and if they are stupid enough to use it, it will be the proverbial nail in the coffin.

I think the DUmmies have thrown in the towel on this one.

They figure he's replacing a conservative so they intend to "go to the mats" on the NEXT nominee.

They know they can't win this one, they're not going to spend too much energy trying.

I wouldn't be surprised if they knocked off O'Conners sick husband so she could stay on the court and deprive Bush of the slot. I would not put anything past some of them.
