What did I tell you?

My gawd you have invoked the AC corollary you must post a picture of HT.

Yep.

I do not want this party run by the mirror image of the other party. I want us to do a little more thinking, even disagreeing...

But John Roberts is a brilliant jurist and a great human being. I was very impressed.

"They want a 'known quantity'". So do I. I don't want another Souter. If Judge Roberts goes lefty, I say we get rid of the U.S. Supreme Court. Let's let states decide issues and then we can go live in the state that represents our own ideals.

Well, you're about as old as one can get around here then aren't you? I din't even have a computer back then. Haven't got much of one now!

I'm here, thanks to Rathergate, via Swiftboat Veterans for Truth site. Changed my way of getting the news. Now, by the time the print news hits the stands, I already know many variations of the truth to dispel the printed lies.

lol.

The fact that Roberts remains polite and rational in spite of the dems attempts to misrepresent him is a testament to his qualifications. I don't necessarily want a conservative justice, just one who will adjudicate according to the Constitution. (It just happens that is who is considered conservative, one who will follow the law.)

Rather drastic, don't you think?? It won't happen, with good reason. To let the states settle things out as you propose is a quick step to a brewing Civil War. And don't say that wouldn't happen, because it would.

That's a good size piece. ;)

Roger that ~ we canceled the local commie rag several years ago.

The news and information available on the Internet is unparalleled.

I think the Kelo decision frightened me. What to do about this really bad decision? Individual states are already taking action to see that it will not happen in their states. So what do we need a Supreme Court for? I'd rather live in a state that honored my right to private property.

[MikefromOhio]

the idea in the first place was that the states did their own thing.

We still need a Supreme Court, but for some reason in the past 100 years, it has become THE power in the land.....

I'll have to read the Souter transcripts now.

I read most of the Roberts' transcipts. At the very worst he is slightly dubious (especially on end-of-life issues). But that may be all the better. He is really holding his cards close. That aside he seems excellent, and perhaps even better in some ways than Scalia or Thomas.

Remember that his reason d'etre for being a lawyer is his passion for the rule of law. He has a great respect for the Constitution and the subtlety and tact to perhaps stabilize and depoliticilize the court. We shall see. He was really impressive at the hearings and I'm not easily impressed.
