John G Roberts SCOTUS

That may be but I am still going to tune up my ears for the third or fourth round of Kennedy. It seems Schummer had spent his brains. Movies are not where it is at. I learned somthing about the judiciary from listening. I dont understand how people cant hear the difference between Roberts and Summer but the difference passes by just like a c/e difference.This difference is not the one that Roberts said bout being able to talk politically vs not. To really get at an issue one has to get right up in the other face and by the momement Shummer got to Roberts he had nothing else to challenge. Disagrement doesnt count. It has to be a challenge. Yes I think Robert's responds TOO generally but that IS what is needed so that there will always be a follow up. This is not what c/e needs however. Actually the opposite.

sadly tal, i'm going to agree with you again. asking for personal opinion is technically wrong, as is asking for potential rulings. but the problem is that they're having a hard time determining whether or not personal opinion will get in the way of good judging, which is the real question.and statements to that effect from the person in question don't really help too much -- who's to know how accurate they are?but i do think he's probably going to be confirmed. he seems to be sounding fairly reasonable so far. god knows rehnquist's past made him look pretty bad too, and he had even less experience.i don't however agree with this statement:

If I comeout of a lab to you and say how can you rule/judge on that case becoming more widespread, and just rely on the rule of law without any opinion of ANYONE's? We do not have access to God's opinion.This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 09-16-2005 09:18 AM
