Future Supreme Roberts
I'm glad to see that Bush picked a winner for the court. I was really worried that he'd go wobbly on us but it appears he didn't. He picked a man who is reportedly one of the smartest lawyers in DC. Someone who has argued 49 cases before the Supreme Court. Someone who was brave enough to let stand a really stupid law making it a crime to eat french fries on the subway in D.C. because, while inane, it wasn't unconstitutional. This man is John Roberts. Hugh Hewitt has mentioned him in the past in glowing terms. If the guy is good enough for Hugh, he's good enough for me.
The Dem's seem confused about how to respond. They want to go nuclear but aren't sure the country will buy it. There are polls of late showing that 60+ % of the country think the President should get his pick. This guy doesn't look to provide a big target. We can only hope that they are full of bluster and won't actually block the nomination. Stay tuned...
