SOUTER IN ROBERTS CLOTHING, ANN COULTER

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Well, she does make some very persuasive points. Especially this one: Finally, lets ponder the fact that Roberts has gone through 50 years on this planet without ever saying anything controversial. That’s just unnatural.

However, he does have plenty to say about judicial restraint. That gives me comfort.

[TheForceOfOne]

Ann is great but it is time that will tell if the choice remains true to the original intent of the Constitution. We will have to wait at least ten years for the effects of Washington to sink in and whether or not he succumbs to inside the beltway politics.

[RayBob]

Gee...maybe Ann was getting a little juiced up by all those Ann Coulter for USSC posts on FR and is pissed she didn't get the nod.

Roberts is a solid conservative pick. Maybe Ann needed to sell more books to the fringe whack-jobs...

[MBB1984]

I think Ann is wrong, but I am glad that she's attacking the nomination. If anything, her attacks should help Roberts be confirmed.

Roberts is best friends with Michael Luttig, my first choice for the nomination and a solid conservative. That speaks volumes in my opinion.

[PhiKapMom]

You are correct. IMHO given the choice of Coulter who looks for facetime or Levin -- I will take the opinions of Levin every time. He is much more grounded and not as flippant but then he doesn't have long blonde hair either! :)

[Turbo Pig]

also distinctly uncomfortable with the roll over posture of RAT scum in the Senate.

I think that has more to do with the fact that the aren't quite sure how to attack him, without looking like bigger fools than they normally do. After all, they have already confirmed him twice for other bench positions, from what I understand; with at least one unanimous consent. Just wait, it's coming.

""We continue to believe..."

That is exactly Ann's point. WE continue to beleive - the United States Of America executive. NOT "I".

[goodnesswins]

Well....here's some STRATEGERY....if ANN is AGAINST Roberts, then MAYBE the Democrats will be FOR HIM?

[WorkingClassFilth]

Me too. I would have died and gone to heaven if they had 'Borked' the RATs right up the tail pipe. Oh well, no chance of that...unless...Rehnquist still goes this summer...

[canalabamian]

Not exactly the picture of health, is she. Needs more meat on those bones IMO.

[1Old Pro]

WOW, now that's a cold shower.

[proud American in Canada]

but she's wrong on this one and hasn't done her homework.

I agree with you. Justice Scalia thinks Judge Roberts is one of the best attorneys ever to appear before the Supreme Court. That's good enough for me.

[SoFloFreeper]

I think in the right wing thinker category, Ann is wrong here...if Mark Levin thinks the guy is a good choice, I'm going with Mark. Of course, of course, of course: only time will tell.

[RobFromGa]

She probably lost a ton on TradeSports, and was also wrong in her predictions to her friends...

[ZULU]

WAHHHH!!

She's soooooooo beautiful! And with a brain to match.

Bush, like his father before him, is no conservative. He's a genuine "moderate", of which there are very few in either party.

I sincerely hope that Ann's predictions here about him are untrue, but I have to admit, I am worried.

I would have been far happier with a candidate with solid conservative credentials, and she is right on target about Souter, Kennedy and O'Connor.

[RockinRight]

She could use a nice 16 ounce prime rib with a big baked potato loaded with sour cream and cheese...maybe a big sundae for dessert...every day for about 2 months. That oughtta take care of it.

[Tribune7]

I heard his wife is involved with Feminists for Life -- which would be a good sign.

[concerned about politics]

"The only way a supreme court nominee could win the approval of NARAL and Planned Parenthood would be to actually perform an abortion during his confirmation hearing, live, on camera, and preferably a partial birth one."

ROTF!! Man, she says it exactly like it is!!!
If a nominee doesn't support the left wing's early death policies, he's outta here!

[Fido969]

She talks in her sleep? You DOG.

[slowhand520]

I think Coulter makes some valid points. But I take comfort in the fact that Levine, Ingraham, Redstate.org, Ramesh Ponnuru, Rich Lowry, J K Lopez, and the rest of the NRO gang are happy with the pick.
