Could you repeat the question, Senator?
If only that was a look of terror, but alas it is not. Roberts will be approved along a strict party line vote. And we are all in for a good 25 to 30 years of his lack of regard for privacy, voting, and due process rights.
Of course, their is a possibility that he could pull a Suter, who was nominated by Bush the Elder, and turn out to be much more progressive than his supporters thought. Or maybe that he will be much more concerned about running a good court as Chief and be less concerned about pushing his clearly visible conservative agenda. Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt!
Actually, I'm very much in wait and see mode. We've had far more Republican years than Democratic over the last 40 years and we don't have a radical right court. Not yet, you say? Well, maybe so. But I do want to wait and see. Clearly Bush's two nominations at once will swing the court for a period.
Do any of you know Justice John Paul Stevens? If so, see if you can persuade him to retire in 09 and not before.
