Evoking scrutiny is good. If you read between her lines, Roberts' conservate bonfifides were still largely unknown; may still be....
But Ann gave notice to conservatives to keep their eyes WIDE open (and that helped avoid the Harriet Miers debacle eventually, didn't it?)
Btw, do you believe in, "just trust me"?
Not at all. But Roberts had a solid 30-year history of choosing to support men like Reagan, Bush, and Rehnquist. Roberts worked almost exclusively on conservative causes. The couple of instances where Roberts helped out on other cases that were not conservative was in cases where Roberts was doing a favor for a collegue. Coulter shot from the hip against Roberts and missed the target completely.
