Did we ever here an admission of error from this person concerning CJ Roberts?

It was a foolish article at the time and it’s foolish now.
GWB has been the best President for SCOTUS nominations since before FDR.
Ouch.
That person will never admit to being wrong. That person is the smartest person on the globe (in that person’s own eyes).

I gotta disagree, amigo. Ann Coulter's article claims nothing about Roberts, except to say that nothing was known about him. It complains about stealth nominations when
1) a fight on the facts and issues would be playing to our strength;
2) we have (or rather, "had," alas) a majority in the Senate.
I believe Roberts is turning out splendidly, but the issue was an important one to raise. Ann more or less single-handedly got Harriet Miers withdrawn, which I think was a good thing. Maybe Pres. Bush was correct to play a stealth card with Roberts, considering how weak the Senate RINOs were, but I thought the column represented an important "bully pulpit" consideration.
Prudence dictates taking a safe or aggressive strategy, depending on circumstances. It may be that if the GOP had been more willing to pick fights on the actual issues over the last 6 years, they'd still have control of Congress. We do have the truth on our side.
Harry Edwards, a Carter appointment to the DC circuit, called John Roberts “the most conservative judge he had ever served with”.
Keep in mind he served with both Scalia and Thomas.
Yes, but only because we raised so much hell over Harriet Myers. It was only then he appointed Roberts. That said, thank God Americans raised such a ruckus that he dropped her.
