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.
too young...oh my..see ya.
