I think Roberts was spineless yesterday. His supporters control the House, the Senate, the Presidency. Yet he couldn't stand up for LIFE, but instead hid behind the excuses demonrat nominees have used in the past to not answer questions.
If he won't stand for Life now when its easy, why would he later when hundreds of lawyers and the media will be attacking him.
30 million dead innocent babies and all he can say is:
Well, I feel the need to stay away from a discussion of particular cases.
Well, again, I think I should stay away from discussions of particular issues that are likely to come before the court again. And in the area of abortion, there are cases on the courts docket, of course. It is an issue that does come before the court.
Well, yes, Senator, as a general proposition, but I do feel compelled to point out that I should not, based on the precedent of prior nominees, agree or disagree with particular decisions. And I'm reluctant to do that.
That's one of the areas where I think prior nominees have drawn the line when it comes to, Do you agree with this case or do you agree with that case? And that's something that I'm going to have to draw the line in the sand.
Drawing a line in the sand, as legend has it, is to serve as a division between those who would cross it and fight and those who would not.
Roberts did not cross and fight.

"Roberts did not cross and fight."
Bork did and he was "Borked."

There is no point in starting an argument that even if won has no effect on any outcomes. And in this context there is nothing to win and something to lose.

You seem to be a frustrated "one issue" person who does not understand how the game is played. Accordingly, you are destined to be perpetually frustrated.

The attacks NOW are the only ones that can hurt him. Once he's on the court NOTHING anyone can say makes a difference anymore.
