Roberts Rebuffs Democrats' Questions
THe Chief heard some of the hearings with Judge Roberts - one thing that was readily evident was that one good, sound judge was able to run circles around a whole klatsch of LibDonk senators out to try to Bork him. How sweet it is!
Chief Justice-nominee John Roberts repeatedly refused to answer questions about abortion and other contentious issues at his confirmation hearing Tuesday, telling frustrated Democrats he would not discuss matters that could come before the Supreme Court.This has become known as the Ginsburg Standard, after the absolute refusal of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to answer ANYTHING specific about any case that might POSSIBLY come before the court.
Roberts struck sparks when he indicated his refusal to answer certain questions was based in part on a precedent of "no hints, no forecasts, no previews" that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg set at her hearings a dozen years ago.What drives the Donks crazy, is that the sauce for the goose has turned out to be sauce for the gander - plus the fact that it is apparent that Judge Roberts is far and away the intellectual master of the law, and that senators like Kennedy, Biden, and Leahy don't have enough background to do more than run through obviously canned questions prepped by their staff flunkies.
The Cheif remains cautiously optimistic on Roberts' overall legal orientation, but in spite of the Donks' fulminations in the hearings, it looks more and more like there will be a decisive and positive vote on the confirmation.
