I'm a physician, so I can't, and won't, pretend to be a lawyer and analyze the judicial philosophy and temperment of Pres. Bush's nominee. If that's what you're looking for you can find that kind of analysis in lots of

I’m not so sure about that. Abortion would be outlawed in the South and some other states (Kansas/Nebraska/Florida/Kentucky) very quickly if Roe v. Wade were overturned.

You're missing my point.

All Roe did was make it a federal issue.

Overturning it does not mean abortion all of the sudden is illegal, and women all over the country would immediately be put in handcuffs... and that is the hyperbole that some alarmists are harping on.

Overturning Roe only means that the states go back to being able to decide what is legal in their states and what isn't (wow what a concept).

Now, if you want to debate which states would make it illegal, that's an altogether different discussion. Probably a good one, but an altogether different one.

Well, I was right. The White House Press Corps did hit 100%. Scott McClellan was accompanied by Counseler to the President, Dan Bartlett, who took all of the questions.

Why not give it a rest, huh? There has been hardly a peep out of the Democrats.

Why does everyone get so wrapped around the axle about his opinion on Roe v. Wade?

Even if, big if, Roe were overturned, it wouldnt outlaw abortion.

I'm not so sure about that. Abortion would be outlawed in the South and some other states (Kansas/Nebraska/Florida/Kentucky) very quickly if Roe v. Wade were overturned.

I also think a very conservative court might find that the "unborn" or "fetus", or whatever you prefer to call them, have a right-to-life and, therefore, outlaw abortion all 50 states.

Look, he was also a lawyer representing a client on that case - albeit a government lawyer representing his client's, i.e., Pres. Bush I. That brief might not in the least represent his personal opinion on the matter.

And what if it does? Hell, George W. Bush won the election, he gets to pick the judge. It's crazy to think he was going to nominate somebody liberal to the court.

Maybe it's too early to make up your mind that you love this guy, but there's no question it's too early to decide you hate him and will oppose him with every fiber of your being. Let's have the damn confirmation hearings. If we then find out he secretly keeps pictures of Hitler in his study, fine, vote against him. But it seems to me that Bush went out of his way to pick someone at least halfway moderate.

ANN COULTER is suspicious about John Roberts. After pretending to consider various women and minorities for the Supreme Court these past few weeks, President Bush decided to disappoint all the groups he had just ginned up and nominate a white...

Captain’s Quarters points to the “distract from Rove” theory some are pushing. Indeed, one of my liberal readers commented thusly:
Had to take the heat of Karl Rove didn?t he.
That’s too funny.

Now that we have a nominee for the Supreme Court, The Democrat Hate Machine has gone into "Overtime Mode". I, however would not say they are prejudiced, They hate everyone.

Schumer made a donkey out of himself on TV last nite.

Kennedy made his usual hate speech,

Lahey was more careful. One could see the hate in his eyes as he made a short speech on how "he is looking out for the American People"

Can't wait to hear from Dean.

And Durbim, what can you say, he is a cross between Kennedy, Schumer and a host of other Democrat hatemongers.

And the people of NY, ILL, Conn, Mass continue to vote those Jack ells back into office, I bet they are proud.

These hatemongers make me sick to my stomach

LIARS, CHEATS AND HATERS

Even if, big if, Roe were overturned, it wouldn’t outlaw abortion.

It would only bounce the abortion issue back to the States, like it was prior to Roe. Every state had different laws on abortion. All Roe did was make it a federal issue.

One of the usual left-wing nut jobs yesterday said (maybe it was Pelosi, I don’t remember), that Robert’s confirmation would essentially result in women being rounded up and arrested.

Gimme a freaking break.

It seems to be universally accepted that John G. Roberts, Jr.'s short tenure on the federal bench will work in his favor during the Senate confirmation process. I agree, although the short paper trail is also a concern to those...

Last night, the MSM ran for their Thesaurus to come up with just the right adjective to describe Judge Roberts.

I hit the "American Idol" show Tuesday night so I missed the final hours of that crazy news cycle of leaks and rumors. By noon, Conventional Wisdom said Judge Edith Clement was a lock for a Supreme Court nomination....
