Confirm John Roberts(Washington Post Editorial Endorses Judge Roberts)
washingtonpost.com ^ | Sept 18 2006

JOHN G. ROBERTS JR. should be confirmed as chief justice of the United States. He is overwhelmingly well-qualified, possesses an unusually keen legal mind and practices a collegiality of the type an effective chief justice must have. He shows every sign of commitment to restraint and impartiality. Nominees of comparable quality have, after rigorous hearings, been confirmed nearly unanimously. We hope Judge Roberts will similarly be approved by a large bipartisan vote.

This is not intended to upset liberals, it is intended to upset conservatives.

It is part of a facade or reasonablility on the left so they can murder the next SCOTUS nominee.

This will just confirm the moonbats in their belief that the mainstream media is part and parcel of the "Republican noise machine" and is hopelessly right wing.

By saying Roberts should be confirmed, the Washington Compost is trying to make conservatives think that he is really another Souter.

Absolutely. The Democrats are trying to play chess. They are pulling back waiting for the next move (nominee) because they know nobody will be able to match Roberts' performance. It's going to be bloody and I hope that doesn't give the President reason to blink in his selection.

Roberts is an enigma at best, just like Ann Coulter says. Who knows where this man stands?
