I am hoping that Estrada receives Robert's seat myself, provided reports are true he'd like to be reconsidered for appointment.
I wouldn't mind him as a Supreme, but very least I wish to see him advanced. Nothing can be done to rectify what happened to Bork at this time other than seeing it does not occur again. Estrada we can still salvage from the fate that went to Bork.
Fred doesn't believe Roberts is a 'movement conservative'. Personally I'm not interested in whether he is or not. I only want someone that will interpret the Constitution. I do not need an activist from right or Left appointed to feel comforted. Mind, I wouldn't mind someone like Brown, but in private life she is an activist. It's pleasing to hear but ultimately not important one way or the other.
He believes this could conceivably mean Roberts would not overturn R v W if given the opportunity. I disagree. If he's a constitutionalist he'd do it on principle, movement conservative or not. The 'french fry' verdict is an example of someone with a constitutionalist mindset.
I think Judge Roberts will vote to overturn it, if not on principle, then out of fear that his wife will hit him with a frying pan if he doesn't.
LOL.
I can't imagine being married to a pro-life activist and upholding roe vs wade then coming home and saying "Honey, yea, um, you know that thing you fought for and that court case you hate and wanted overturned, well, funny thing today....".
The french fry case involving that little girl is the perfect example of judicial restraint, I'll concede that I probably would have been swayed and been more activist then he was, so I'll give him his due.
