HARTFORD, Conn. -- Sen. Joseph Lieberman said a meeting with Supreme Court nominee John Roberts on Monday left him satisfied that Roberts is not an ideologue. Following a meeting with Roberts, who is President Bush's choice to succeed Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Lieberman said he got to know Roberts and his views "a little better."

"It's too early to reach a conclusion about how I'll vote on his confirmation," Lieberman, D-Conn., told WVIT-TV.

"I'm looking for somebody who will not come in with an ideological agenda, but will in every case coming before the Supreme Court try to do what he thinks is right according to the law and the Constitution, and today Judge Roberts encouraged me to believe he was that kind of person," he said.

"I'd hate to see us get into a battle over whether the administration was going to share documents instead of the basic question of is Judge Roberts deserving of confirmation to be a justice of the United States Supreme Court," Lieberman said.

1. LMFAO ....

Yeah Joe ... uh huh ......

[acmavm]

2. No surprises here. The surprise would be if Joe Bullshit gave any

really serious thought to what kind of guy this nominee is. Or looked at his past record. Or the guy's past rulings. Or...

All Joe needs to know is that the repubs want him. So he'll do his best to help 'em out.

7. I know it's not polite to ask

but damn I would really like to be a fly on the wall in the Robert's bedroom. His little wifey is so anti-choice I can smell it from here.

I mean honestly, if my husband was in some postion of power that would end something I had very stong feeling about (like this war), I know I would be doing everything I damn well could to influence him. (How would you like that blow job,dear...)

Sorry about the image but let's get real here. Mr and Mrs. Roberts never talk about his work?? Mr. and Mrs. Roberts never discuss the issues involving her involvement with Feminists for Life???

Give me a ***king break.

9. Too bad I don't trust

lieberman's judgement.

11. Why can't these jackasses just say "no comment" instead of

playing into the GOP PR campaign??

I feel encouraged to puke.
