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.
I didn't support Souter because I was not involved in Politics when he was nominated -- too young.
How can you believe John Roberts, who has been more thoroughly vetted and probed and invaded then the other 8 justices combined, can be so solidly conservative for so long is going to suddenly become something that Souter was ALL ALONG.
Souter was never a very strong conservative, the Administration believed Sununu when they should have done more of their own research.
Do you think an intellectual powerhouse like John Roberts is going to be swayed by the likes of Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Anthony Kennedy or Steven Breyer? No way.
Also, do you Karl Rove is going to advise the President to nominate someone who is not Conservative?
Last thing.
George W. Bush is a far better President, much more conservative and far more politically savvy than his father. He also has learned from the flaws and failures of his father's Presidency, most especially the Souter nomination.
