Now I'm just asking myself, "Who the hell is John C. Roberts?"
A fewpeople thought he might pull a fast one on us, much like his father did with Souter. I need to read up on Roberts' CV and bio, but he surely seems a whole lot better than Gonzales, for one thing.
[blockquote]Those who know Roberts say he, unlike Souter, is a reliable conservative who can be counted on to undermine if not immediately overturn liberal landmarks like abortion rights and affirmative action. Indicators of his true stripes cited by friends include: clerking for Rehnquist, membership in the Federalist Society, laboring in the Ronald Reagan White House counsel's office and at the Justice Department into the Bush years, working with Kenneth Starr among others, and even his lunchtime conversations at Hogan & Hartson. "He is as conservative as you can get," one friend puts it. In short, Roberts may combine the stealth appeal of Souter with the unwavering ideology of Scalia and Thomas.[/blockquote]
I'm sure we'll learn lots more about Roberts' ideology in the coming days.
But the fact that he belongs to the Federalist Society is sufficient to disquality him.
The Federalist Society is nothing less than a treasonous conspiracywhich engineered the Stolen Election of 2000. Its members include Antonin Scalia, John Ashcroft, Robert Bork, Orrin Hatch, Ted Olsen, Alberto Gonzalez, and just about everyone else appointed to the courts by George Bush Sr. and Jr.
Sounds like the song of the North American Yellow-bellied Cuckoo....[/align][/align][/align]
I honestly don't know too much about him, but this guy seems ok from a distance. Of course, he's in the circle of power and corruption now, so we'll see.

i read an interesting article a few days ago that suggested the following possibility, which i thought was interesting....
Quote:
American University historian Allan J. Lichtman says naming an extremely conservative nominee could backfire on the president because it might prompt Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, a moderate conservative who also has been a swing vote on the court, to inch away from the right.
"That could push Kennedy into the O"Connor slot," Lichtman said.
