On what do you base your opinion of John Roberts? Because either there's a paper trail or there isn't.
We know he supports Roe v. Wade as precedent and "settled law".
We know he did pro bono work for the gay lobby.
We know he's "open-minded".
We know the press is treading VERY lightly on his toes.
Wow - when you see light on the horizon in the east, do you think it's sunrise or sunset?
honestly, I think that you are just looking for shit to leave the GOP or something.
Just say it, you won't vote for the GOP again.
you know you want too.
As I have said, I think what the man has said and what I have read about him. So he did pro-bono work. So what. That probably means he is able to separate his personal feelings for that of work for a client.
that probably also means that he can separate his personal poliical leanings and will interpret the Constitution the way it was meant.
It probably DOESN'T mean that he is a Conservative Judicial activist. I can handle that. Coulter fans cannot, because if it isn't an eye for an eye with that crowd, then it's wrong.
I am REALLY going to laugh when he gets confirmed. Hell, I might even take the day off of work so I can laugh at people going into histrionics all day on FR.
"We know he supports Roe v. Wade as precedent and "settled law"."
No we don't. We know he said something along those lines as part of the tapdance that all Supreme Court nominees must engage in to lessen the probability of a nuclear battle.
"We know he did pro bono work for the gay lobby."
We know very little factually on this issue, and even if he did, it doesn't necessarily mean anything.
"We know he's "open-minded"."
Wow. That's pretty damning. What's the context of that "quote?"
