"Democrats opposing Roberts say they're afraid the former lawyer in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations will be staunchly conservative like Thomas and Justice Antonin Scalia."

The above quote from a reporter notes the fear of the Libs...OMG, someone who will follow the law, not legislate from the bench, and support the Constitution, IS STAUNCHLY CONSERVATIVE!!!
Well.... YEAH! I think that's the point.
Conservatives support the Constitution and the rule of law, even if that doesn't mean our side "wins" a particular battle, but they don't. They support the touchy feely "I meant well and therefore anything goes" rule, even if it leads to the opposite results they promised. After all, they meant well!
