No. Implying that Roberts is a "scumbag" kind of bothers me.

I never implied that Roberts was a scumbag. Please be careful about irrational leaps like that. What I said (implied) was that we don't know enough about Roberts to drop him into the Scalia/Thomas category. In fact, we don't know enough to drop him into ANY category with real confidence. This makes me nervous because the nation cannot sustain another disgusting scumbag like Souter. (Fortunately, the odds would seem to be strongly against such a blunder.)
I am certainly willing to put my faith and confidence in Dubya, and I bet he got good information on Roberts. Presumably, the last thing Dubya wants is a legacy like that of his father who gave the country "the Souter mistake".
