I think that all that we have worked for is at risk with this nomination. I think that Farah is correct. If he is correct, then what a bitter blow. However, I can't believe that Bush could or would be so "off the mark". Why or how could he be?
C R A P.
Roberts may yet turn out to be okay. We have no alternative but to wait. Bush has made his decision and will not recall it. And, as Farah points out, Roberts' support from Senate Democrats will be unanimous or close to it.
If Roberts turns out to be a mistake like Souter we'll be stuck with it for 30-35 years at least. That's long enough to ensure the social liberal agenda becomes a permanent and unchallengeable part of our laws and lives and the lives of our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
May God have mercy on us and this nation and may He guide George W. Bush appropriately to that end.
You have the number one problem conservatives have. You are trusting. Bush is not a conservative. How many blows do conservatives have to get over the head before they understand that? Souter and Kennedy were not mistakes, but intentions. Just because someone calls himself a conservative and the media plays along does not mean he's a conservative.
How to recognize when a real conservative is nominated for the court: Look for Chuckie to be literally shaking with rage, not just acting enraged. Look for statements from one of the ex-Presidents Bush that this doesn't look like a prudent nomination, etc.
