Ann and a few here, aren't and there is NOTHING that any of them can do about about; Roberts IS the nominee. And those who aren't supporting him now, are just helping the Dems and have fallen for the propaganda put out to divide our side.

Personally, I don't think any grassroots campaign is going to change things much with GOP senators. They're all going to vote for him. Most of them also voted to confirm Ginsberg after all and survived their next elections. And the Dims aren't going to be much influenced by us either way.

So this seems to be something of a tempest in a teapot. I'm eager to see what Roberts' actual conservative credentials are. I keep thinking they must exist somewhere on paper beyond the recommendations of Luttig, Levin, and Olson.

Probably, we're all just bashing each other to no good purpose on this one. Even if he were another Souter as Coulter seemed to fear, we can't do much about it now.

Nevertheless, conservatives have good reason for concern. Roe was not possible without the two Nixon appointees who actually led the charge on it. And Eisenhower's mistake was in promising Earl Warren a seat and then actually honoring the promise, much to the detriment of the country. Ike's own assessment: "the biggest damn fool mistake I ever made".
