SCHUMER: OK. Let me ask you, then, this hypothetical: And that is that it came to our attention, Congress', through a relatively and inexpensive, simple process, individuals were now able to clone certain species of animals, maybe an arroyo toad. Didn't pass over state lines; you could somehow do it without doing any of that. Under the commerce clause, can Congress pass a law banning even noncommercial cloning?

ROBERTS: I appreciate it's a hypothetical, and you will as well, so I don't mean to be giving bindings opinions. But it would seem to me that Congress can make a determination that this is an activity, if allowed to be pursued, that is going to have effects on interstate commerce. Obviously if you were successful in cloning an animal, that's not going to be simply a local phenomenon. That's going to be something people are going to...

SCHUMER: We can leave it at that. That's a good answer, as far as I am concerned.

As I said, his commerce clause jurisprudence is mainstream, and therefore questionable. If he gets along with Schumer, then he is not a conservative. GOT IT?

Ah, I get it. You make more of the ritual of the Senate Confirmation Hearings than you do of the man's ACTUAL opinions on almost the exact same issue. And you're also of the school that if Schumer says something nice about someone they're automatically to be tossed overboard. I assume you said the same thing when ever a lib said anything nice about Reagan, i.e. Tip O'Neill and many others I could name.

UNDERSTAND! Hey, I can capitalize, too!
