I actually agree with you. I think Roberts should have voted with the conservatives. After all, we’re the ones that put him there.Paradoxically, I’m glad we’re on offense on this issue going into the campaign, because Obama had already signaled he was all set to run against the Supreme Court. I’d still rather have Roberts on the Court than the two or three justices the next Presidential term would give Obama a chance to appoint, very likely including Kennedy.

OK, but to what end? Of the 36 or so judges Romney appointed in Mass, less than 10 were Republican. Of that number, I’m not sure how many qualified as “conservative,” but I doubt it would be many. So what do we really win with a Romney victory, except the predictable defenestration of the conservative wing of the GOP?
