Obama and his media allies are now making all the expected noises about the Senate's obligation to confirm nominees if they're qualified without partisan interference. That is the exact opposite of what he did to Bush's Supreme Court nominees.
Let's start with Justice Roberts.
Obama admitted that Roberts was eminently qualified. He praised him highly.
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind Judge Roberts is qualified to sit on the highest court in the land. Moreover, he seems to have the comportment and the temperament that makes for a good judge. He is humble, he is personally decent, and he appears to be respectful of different points of view. It is absolutely clear to me that Judge Roberts truly loves the law. He couldn't have achieved his excellent record as an advocate before the Supreme Court without that passion for the law..."
But, no he wasn't going to vote for him anyway.
"I ultimately have to give more weight to his deeds and the overarching political philosophy that he appears to have shared with those in power than to the assuring words that he provided me in our meeting. The bottom line is this: I will be voting against John Roberts' nomination."
In short, Obama chose to vote against Roberts because of his perceived conservative politics. Nothing else. MORE AT LINK

Obama is leftist garbage.
Roberts showed that he is not one to bear a grudge.....
Either that or he was easy to blackmail.
Surprisingly he got one right.
Thank you for that info.
