I opposed John Roberts on Usenet, and I defended Bush’s Air National Guard service and his actions against Iraq. I lurked on FR, not posting, in part because I was busy posting on Usenet and other fora. I agree with Trump about the defeat of Iraq creating a power vacuum, however, I disagree with Trump to the extent it was necessary to do so anyway as a consequence of Saddam Hussein’s continuing aggressions. there, does that give you the excuses you need to be critical?
Agreed. FReepers were united on the Roberts nomination. I’m not sure we got it wrong then but the latest scuttlebutt indicates Justice Roberts was compromised. I truly don’t know what to think about this. But hey, I still wonder about William Colby. ;o)
Roberts seemed to be a very good appointment at the time, unlike Kennedy whom I assumed would become a typical egotistical problem solver on the bench, like Earl Warren.
Exactly.
If anything, Roberts snookered us all...
Heaven forbid Cruz do something as attricious as support the USSC justice nominee from the President OF HIS OWN PARTY!
I’ll bet Trump didn’t support him, but then again, back then he was a leftist Dem...
