Let's ask this question

[Geoff R. Casavant]

I have read and responded to a number of posts in the last day or so about Roberts and SCOTUS. Some have been to the effect that, Roberts must be evil because Bush nominated him, which seems to be circular reasoning.

So let me ask, of all the potential nominees for SCOTUS that Bush would be likely to nominate, who is acceptable and why?

For myself, based on my (admittedly limited) review of Roberts's opinions, I don't find him nearly objectionable as some that could have been nominated, and while I expect the Democrats to probe his views, I doubt I will get upset when he is confirmed, absent some bombshell.

1. You don't find him so objectionable?

I guess you don't have a uterus.

2. He is most definitely a Stealth Nominee then

I think the most egregious things we have learned is his involvment in the Florida recount case and the Kenneth Starr investigation.

Sure this guy fits the Bush mold, sure he looks like Quayle and seems unassuming, sure he is qualified, but I just don't like people who facilitate the theft of votes an ultimately gave us this F8ing moron for a President. It just shows how partisan he is.

3. he was just nominated...take more time to read the materials

on a ton of sites about him including this one.
