The most important fight of a lifetime is upon us. No, it isn't the battle to confirm John Bolton. And no, it isn't the Rove CIA-leak. The confirmation of John Roberts to the Supreme Court is the most import battle of this year. Why you may ask? The Supreme Court is the third branch of our government. It is known as the silent branch. You hardly hear much from the Court. But when it speaks it can be heard a thousand miles away. It has the power to take the work of the other two branches and make it obsolete or 'unconstitutional'. The High Court can take a law that most Americans agree with and change it forever. It was this court for example that made the act of abortion a legal practice. Unfortunately most Americans know very little about the Supreme Court of our land. In fact, most Americans can not name a justice on the High Court. Can you name one? If you can name one then you are one of the few citizens that can.In the humble opinion of this writer, John Roberts was the perfect choice for the Supreme Court. This man will have an easy confirmation. (Easy does not mean he won't get grilled by the Dems or press. Easy means he will get the votes necessary without a big filibuster or some other delaying tactic.) With his steller resume he will have no problem facing the likes of Schumer or Reid. Roberts has already gone through this once before in the '90s. In fact, he has already had a showdown with the Dems. How did he do? He showed great poise and restraint. There is no doubt that the Dems will try their best to get a 'gotcha' quote but they will leave frustrated because Mr. Roberts will not bite. Bush once again showed the country that he is a very good leader and a very good politician. On news reports on both CNN and Fox, Republicans AND Democrats had nothing but good things to say about Roberts. Conservatives are even feeling good about Roberts. There are a few who are worried that Roberts doesn't have much of a paper trail. They worry that he may not be as conservative as they are hoping for. Time will tell.Roberts just feels right. He fits well with Bush. Bush can never be labelled as an ultra conservative. (Personally I don't believe an ultra-anything can make it to the White House.) Likewise, Roberts does not appear to be an ultra-conservative. Why would Bush pick someone that didn't at least appear to be like-minded? Which it is so funny to listen to the Dems. They really believed Bush should pick someone who is different in politics and philosophy than himself. Why would any President do that? That is cutting off your nose to spite your face. And some Dems are even shocked that John Roberts supported Bush and his election. NO WAY! Do they believe a President should pick a person that contributes to the OTHER SIDE? That doesn't make any sense. Well, then again nothing from D.C. makes much sense.
