I don't play games well. I've been following the latest attempt to create a mountain out of a molehill on the John Roberts nomination on Kos and other parts of the blogosphere.
For those of you who missed the latest?
Here
So since none of other issues could be made into huge issues this is the one of the moment, the claim that John Roberts is unethical because he had a meeting concerning a possible appointment for a possible opening and did not recuse himself.
Let's see, he should have said, hey I can't hear this case because at sometime in the future I might actually be considered to be a Supreme Court Judge.....which would mean if that is the scope some of these Democrats are heading towards no Judge who even dreamed about being a Supreme Court Justice should hear any federal cases.
The backlash that is going to happen if and when Democrats gain control of the Whitehouse and are presenting their own candidates is not going to be pretty. And worse yet? They will have no one to blame but themselves.

Again the Democrats pick the wrong battle to fight. You are right Lisa when you say that this can only hurt them in the future.
I believe Roberts is the right choice for now, since he has detractors from both sides of the aisle. That shows me that he decides cases by law and not by politics. Looks like Bush has some people on his staff that might have some brains.
I agree but I discovered they aren't going to listen
cuz I'm either a troll or I'm stupid -
hehehe
I think they should let him through because you know another one will open and you need to decide the battlefield that best serves your purpose. Obviously, Iraq wasn't the right place for Rumsfeld to test his new military. The Dems shouldn't make Roberts their Iraq.
Exactly me4, if it were Rogers-Brown? I'd be agreeing with them that it was worth a larger battle.
I may be inviting flaming here, but what the hey:
What's wrong with Janie Rogers-Brown?
flaming here? never...
I didn't support Rogers-Brown, I still believe she's a poor candidate for the appeals court. Not just because of some of her public statements that have been out there, but because of her ratings and her proven record of not being able to get along with other judges. We need good judges not attitude in the US District Appeals Courts.
That was my last comment on her and the basis of it. I don't think she deserved the district court given the numbers of other candidates that had much higher ratings and no attitude problems so I definitely would not support her on the Supreme Court.
I understand President Bush is going to select conservatives, I also expect most of them to not support the idea of abortion. However? I still think there should be a set standard as far as qualifications and someone with ratings that low should never be considered by either side. It should be something awarded to the best, not the mediocre.
