It came as no surprise that Senator Harry Reid, and Senator Hillary Clinton, will vote NO on confirming Judge Roberts to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I can honestly say, I am not surprised in the least. Neither should you be. It’s Reid's job, as the minority leader in the Senate. Clinton... is, well, running for President! Basically, their job descriptions call for obstructing, obfuscating, and delaying anything, and everything, the Republicans may be trying to do… without offering any suggestions from the Democratic side of the aisle. I mean, you have noticed the total lack of ideas from the Left, haven’t you. It’s very difficult to miss. It appears their sole purpose for "being" is to fence-in the Republicans, and the Bush Administration, until they can regain power in the Congress and White House. They’re in for a very long wait.In any event, Senator Reid’s, and Senator Clinton's, reluctance to vote for Judge Roberts is just one more of the "child like" maneuvers of the Left. It won’t work. Roberts will be confirmed.
Now, understand me, I STILL have reservations about Judge Roberts. My primary concern is... that he is not conservative enough! That’s right. I was looking for a nominee in the mold of Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas, and Judge Robert Bork. I still am.
With one, and possibly two, more slots to be filled on the Court, the Bush Administration has an opportunity to change the Court and remake it in our image, a conservative court. That is my dream.
Several names are being floated, but nobody really knows whom the President will choose. But it is looking as if the next nominee will be more in the conservative mold that Judge Roberts appears to be.
Republicans are gearing up for the Armageddon to come. The next confirmation process will be “the fight from Hell”. We’re ready.
Look, Republicans know that, at some point in the future, we will lose the White House and/or, the Congress. That will be OK with us… IF… we retain control of the Supreme Court.
If I may speak plainly, conservative Republicans understand that REAL control of the government lies in the Judiciary Branch. That’s not the way it was designed by the Founders, but that is what we have. We intend to play the hand we have been dealt.
Republicans have long memories and a lot of patience.

If a good liberal gets in and you loose congress and the white house, I doubt it the way the elections have been fixed. But if a Good Democrat gets in he (or at least I) would "persuade" the extreme right wingers into stepping down! Anyone who gives municiplaties the power to seize private property to turn it over to another private owner should be drug out! I would not put an extreme leftist in either. I want the constitution followed by someone who tends not to lean 1 way or the other! Someone who in good faith will represent the citizens, not the corporations, the rights of the individual, not the power of the Government. I want what is best for the people of this country not what's best for the few!
