Republicans got Roberts through. What makes you think it cannot be done again? There are conservative candidates that could make it through the process, but we get feed a bunch of coward talk about how it would be impossible to get anyone through the senate, so we just need to accept a non-conservative candidate. I don't buy it. I don't need to get senators to sign a contract. I just vote them out of office if they don't get the job done. That is my contract.

Bush just did not want the hassle of pushing through a conservative and he wanted to throw a bone to one of his staff (he has a history of that--rewarding loyalty with perks). That is what happened. We expect and deserve better, and I don't give a rat's behind whether the liberals are laughing or not. If I based what I do on how the liberals respond to me I would not be a very good conservative.

Roberts??!!! Who are you kidding. These same pubdits were blasting him until he smoked the hearings. Go read Coulters slam when he was nominated. You dare to bring up Roberts???

"Republicans got Roberts through. What makes you think it cannot be done again?"

Because Roberts was a throwaway. If Rheinquist doesn't die, chances are Roberts doesn't get in without a fight.

The writer is correct here. Put up or shut up.

No, President Bush picked who he thought would do the best job! He is not the idiot you and the left are making him out to be! How you can join in with them is beyond me.
