Daily Ramblings:
John Roberts: Great Choice ...07/19/2005 09:55:16 pm
And perfectly consistent with what RWB wrote back here ... so Bob Is Right again. Chuck Schumer and Pat Leahy have even less of leg to stand on than usual with regard to this nominee, but that doesn't mean there won't be a lot of hopping taking place. They will try to argue that a Sandra Day O'Connor needs to be replaced with a clone, in terms of judicial philosophy, but they will ultimately fall on their face. The wild card to watch is Arlen Specter. It's unbelievable that the guy who proved himself both the country's worst legal mind and the most spineless Republican, during the Bork hearings in 1987, would end up chairing the Judiciary Committee at this crucial moment. Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
Kudos also to Dubya for skipping the gender replacement theory of judicial nominations. Don't worry, NOW and co.: When John Paul Stevens retires, we'll give you Janice Rogers Brown.
So, all is well, despite the fireworks to come. There's rarely been a fight more worth having. I'll say it one more time: Bring it on.
