Supreme Court Nominee

President George Bush has nominated Appeals Court Judge John G. Roberts to the supreme court to replace retiring justice Sandra Day O’conner. Although there is nothing in Judge Roberts background that makes him stand out in either a good or a bad way (which is a good thing in and of itself in my humble opinion), the pro abortion minority of our population will now proceed to have apoplectic seizures every time the media is within five hundred feet. Why you ask? Simple. Judge Roberts was a co-author of a brief which contained the statement “we continue to believe that roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled.” They will of course forget to mention and quite probably make a concerted effort to keep hidden the fact that during his 2003 confirmation hearings for his present position he stated “Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land, . . . . there’s nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent.” After all, if the dumbocrats admitted he took this position, they would have to confirm with little argument, and just the thought of that would make them blow chow all over the Senate chambers.

What will rankle the Dumbocrats more than anything else is that Judge Roberts has been low key, staying below the radar during his legal career. This gives them little to gripe about and that in itself will give them all the more incentive to gripe. Since the party as a whole hasn’t had a good idea since 1962 they would much more prefer someone who has tried to legislate from the bench like the vast majority of Dumbocrat judges try and do. I can just picture them crying into their champagne and caviar because they can’t find anything in Judge Roberts past to whine about. Really, how dare President Bush nominate a man that pays attention to what the constitution and the law says, rather than bending it to meet his own warped and self serving desires and standards? Doesn’t he realize that it is his duty to give them something to whine about, something to keep their limited attention span from drifting towards other matters such as remembering to fire their car detailer since he took the roach that was stashed in the ashtray of their BMW.

What will be of particular interest will be what Queen Hilary has to say when she graciously descends from on high to speak to all of us common folk. She and Judge Roberts are absolute opposites. He has had a career of noteworthy accomplishments but makes no fuss about it while she has done nothing of value in her life and makes much ado about that nothing. Yes, the next couple of weeks of political hyperbole should be quite interesting indeed.
