Thoughts on Roberts

Been too busy to post!!! Exam next week in Evidence. We'll see how it goes...

What do I think about Roberts? I don't know. He's got plenty of experience in practive before the Supreme Court. He's a thorough advocate and a great number of people in Washington seem to like him.

He says that he will follow the stated law of the land but let's read between the lines... Laws can be changed and he will be on the body that can ultimately decide what is and is not the law of the land based on the COnstitution. I think the court may wind up overturning Roe v. Wade if the "right" case came along. Or at the very least limiting abortion rights...

Roberts seems like a fine candidate. I see no real reason for anyone to make an objection to him or prevent him being appointed. Democrats are certainly trying to dig up something on him, but I have a feeling that they really won't come up with anything. This won't be anything like Bork or even remotely close to Thomas! I guess my only thing about him is that he seems almost TOO perfect.

This was an utterly brilliant move by Bush. Ugh...
