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.

Not just liberal heads. The Washington Post is giving me the creeps.
Stand back out of the splatter zone.
They know they have lost this battle so they are going to save all of their ammo for the next one.
Exactly.
Doesn't all this make you wonder what battle the are picking instead?
President Bush ignored them all as he did what we elected him to do..... LEAD
Now we see the left calling for unity.... A sire sign on surrender, The left has been doing this since the day Neville Chamberlain waved his signed document from Hitler himself as he declared "Peace In Our Time"
Tucker Carlson claims to be a Conservative, I consider him a "Reactionary"..... He denounces the war in Iraq, yet he claims he wants to rid the world of terrorism. I cannot see how he can justify his position.
Some people's grasp of history cannot see beyond this mornings breakfast, and their vision for the future is limited to the "Farmers Almanac"
LOL! I likeit!
Yes, we elected him to lead and LEAD well he has; no matter what FR's fringers/doom&gloomers post ! :-)
Sadly, it appears that the vast majority of people's grasp of history, is about 5 hours ago, at best.
If the WP endorses this guy, he's a lib/Rino/moderate.... Otherwise they'd of found some women or young boy to testify about sexual abuse.
Exactly.
Just before hell freezes over.
LMAO [Looks like a flock of liberal piggy banks descending on New Orleans; or maybe a bunch of Teddy Kennedys with water wings]
Ann Coulter is deeply saddened.
I am fine with this one. Let Bush nominate Janice Rogers Brown. If they defeat her, then nominate someone more conservative!! Luttig?
Reason: Democrats don't like a woman, and they don't like a black. Since the Democrats will only confirm a white man, I (Bush) have no choice.
The WA Post? Yikes. Do I smell Souter II?
Since you did not hear Roberts, let me break the news to you.
He is a *Constructionist*.
That he is going to be confirmed, that they will likely have an interest in a case before the court, and that trashing him will only guarantee that they go into that case as a party that trashed the chief justice before his confirmation vote?
This is just a wild guess into the thought process.
Oh NO!
Well....
This changes nothing. I'm still in favor of confirming Roberts.
heh heh
