While he may be an unknown quantity to YOU, he is not to people who have taken a little time to research him.
I have listened to the Audio recordings of his Supreme Court Arguments.
I have read articles and seen interviews by people who have known and worked with him for almost three decades.
I have read many of his 50 positions as a Federal Appellate Judge on the Fifth Circuit.
I have researched his wife's involvement in conservative causes including "Feminists for Life" of which she was a Board Member and is now legal counsel.
I have looked at his record at Harvard and his advanced study programs in High School.
I read some of the papers released from his time working for the REAGAN and BUSH I administrations.
I have watched the Confirmation hearing three times.
Is this how a "BushBot" operates?
The reason it is ignorant to use the word "BushBot" to describe someone with whom you disagree is because you have no idea what resources I used to come to my conclusion that John Glover Roberts, Jr. will be the best thing to happen to the Supreme Court in a very long time. I would like to add one last thing.
When William Rehnquist was asked a few years ago a series of questions like, "Who is the best practitioner before the Supreme Court" and "Who is the best appellate attorney in the United States," his response was to chuckle and say, "Well, that would certainly have to be Mr. Roberts."
I'm really not interested in his ability to practice before the court. How he will vote on the court is of primary interest. As for your resources, How is it you assume someone who disagrees with you has not used equivalent resources or has not done their own research?. Hey, you are free to your opinion. I hope you are right. If you are not we all will suffer and you are invited back to explain why your perfect sight just didn't work out this time and gee you sure are sorry we will have to deal with him for the next 30 years. If you have done your research as you said you will find no specifics on how he will vote on the subjects I mentioned earlier. I'm not interesting in an ongoing p$ssing match with you. But I am entitled to my opinion and there are too damn many folks in the BushBot camp who would rather insult or call someone ignorant instead of reasoning rationally. Like I said, If the shoe fits. Please....why not quote some of his judicial rulings or public writings (not advocate positions) that support your view. I can't find any that alleviate my concerns. Help reduce my ignorance.......and tell me you didn't support the Souter nomination because your research determined he was a shadow liberal.
