John Roberts?
Well it's apparently official, Bush has nominated this guy to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. Too bad it wasn't a New England conservative like David Souter. Then I'd probably have more hope that he'd 'defect' to be a centrist. The only thing he has going for him is that he's from Harvard, then was on the court of appeals in the District of Columbia, which isn't the most conservative area in the nation.
Has John Roberts done anything that raises my eyebrows? Honestly he doesn't seem that bad. It would have been nice to have had another woman on the court, but at least he isn't a white protestant southerner. That would have been appalling to me.
Although, according to sources, he had wanted to reverse Roe v. Wade back in 1990. I think I can trust him when he says he would not seek to reverse that precedent when he was appointed to the court of appeals two years ago.
Of course, I think it's quite necessary to grill him on some tough issues, just because he hasn't given us much with his short record. He doesn't seem to have a record on anything at all. I'm sure every detail of his philosophy will be outlined in the coming weeks.

This guy is evil.. see Slate's article today on the Hamdi (sp?) case he decided a few months ago.. basically has said that even us citizens have 0 rights (speech, legal representation, etc) if congress has given bush the "power to fight terror".
