John Roberts

Hearing - or thankfully, just reading (her voice is annoying) - Ann Coulter write about why John Roberts is a bad choice for the Supreme Court isn't enough to get me to like him. And mind you, I think there's a strategy afloat to have vocal conservative nut cases target Roberts to try to get more centrist minded people to think he's not so bad.

Roberts' wife's involvement in Feminists for Life, or some such nonsense, is bothersome in a way that is important. Roberts and his wife only married a handful of years ago, both nearly into middle age; her activities predate their marriage and he no doubt factored them into their marriage.

But the WH's refusal to release more papertrail on Roberts bothers me most. What don't they want us to see?

Wait. I'm wrong. What bothers me most is that we'll get Roberts regardless of how any of us feels, and polls show as Americans are more concerned with Bush's integrity and honesty, they are increasingly concerned with anyone he promotes as "the best choice."
