"it doesn't but it gives Coulter fans and the tin foil crew something to scream about."
The Roberts case pits the "tin foil hat" crew against the "purple kool aid" drinkers. What in Robert's record makes people like you so absolutely SURE that this guy will vote the way you expect? There is nothing, yet you attack people who have been burned before (Soutered) on phoney conservate justices for asking questions. Please tell me WHY people who are concerned should stop worrying.
The fact is that we won't know for sure what kind of justice this guy will be until he is on the court and unnacountable. We would have preferred more of a sure thing and not to roll the dice with the future of the country.
ANY justice at this point could have a perfect record of conservatism and could still be a Souter or a Kennedy.
honestly, I would rather NOT have someone who appears to be a sure thing, mainly because I REALLY don't have any faith in ANY human being as a sure fire (fill in the blank here) and to be consistent.
If the man was JUST doing his job in this case, and I believe he was and there is no indication of anything else, then this is a lot of noise for no reason.
