Judicial Confirmation Hearings
Supreme Court appointee John Roberts is all but confirmed. I am increasingly impressed with this selection, assuming he walks his talk. But how many John Roberts are there, qualified jurists who will uphold our Constitution and so effortlessly explain why?
I fear that appointees from now on, given the repeated GOP capitulation to the noisy Left, will be picked for there ability to handle these hearings, not their philosphy of the bench.
Mr. President, damn the torpedos. Pick the best person for the job. The Senate Democrats hardly distinguished themselves this trip, talking endlessly to avoid any extended debate with Roberts, one they cannot possibly sustain let alone win. Indeed, we have a lot of foolish gibbish from Biden, Schumer, Kennedy, even Feinstein that we can play back at the appropriate times.
