UNKNOWN??? Where have you been? He is very well known, very conservative and very stable.
I've been right here. He is not a known quantity and to pretend otherwise is the trap. You do not know his position on Roe, 2nd Amendment, Commerce Clause, Church and State, etc. He simply has not written his own opinions or ruled as a judge on those issues. He is a blank slate of personal judicial views and that should worry thoughtful people.. He has caveat"ed" every statement he made on Judicial restraint and the fixed nature of the Constitution. The only encouraging position he has taken was his analogy that judges should be unpires not pitchers or batters but noticably missing is where the judiciary fits when writing the rule book. We will see. I hope his champions are right but BushBots will get to eat their boots if they are wrong and that will be getting off easy. He is clearly smart enough to fence with the Democrats, why not us? It is clear he's smarter than Souter and you all thought you knew where Souter would come down and you were wrong big time.
