Nice try, but wrong.
In 2005, at the time, both Ben Shapiro and Ann Coulter warned unequivocally, in print, that Roberts was a go along to get along type of guy, A RINO who was no originalist, "A Souter in Robert's clothing," in reference to the other Bush's catastrophic liberal court pick.
He that has ears let him hear.
you are 100% correct.
not to belabor the point, but, FR was hot with skepticism when Roberts was nominated. We wanted a rock solid conservative.
Now..admittedly...for the first few years, I was pleasantly surprised by Roberts. He’s NOT a Souter.
But he switched his vote on the most important case. And it seems he did it at the last minute, to the shock of the 4 conservatives.
He did it b/c they had the goods on him. And GWB should have known this.
Our skepticism was justified. Maybe overstated...but for the case that mattered, very much justified.
