Quotes on Judge Roberts
Quotes from a couple of HeavyHanded's favorite writers:
"If Judge Roberts has ever been guilty of jay-walking, you can believe that some shrill special interest group will dig that up and try to make him seem like a threat to the republic."
--Thomas Sowell
"Now it's Roberts' turn. Barely had the president finished announcing the nomination when the Dems rushed Sen. Chuck Schumer on air, hunched and five-o'clock-shadowed and looking like a bus-&-truck one-man Nixon revue. Schumer's line was that, as a judge, Roberts had too thin a paper trail. His message seemed to be: Look, we Dems have the finest oppo-research boys in the business and, if we can't get any dirt on this guy, that must mean it's buried real deep and is real bad; the very fact that we can't get anything on him is in itself suspicious."
--Mark Steyn
MORE QUOTES ON ROBERTS:
This week's "TheoLib" Award: "John Roberts is a Roman Catholic. How important to him is his religion? Do you think it might affect him as a Supreme Court Justice?"
--ABC's Barbara Walters
This week's "Leftmedia Buster" Award: "NPR's Nina Totenberg, who last week tagged Supreme Court nominee John Roberts as 'very, very conservative' and 'very, very, very conservative,' on 'Inside Washington' over the weekend described him as merely 'very conservative.' But she couldn't resist adding a modifier every time she applied the conservative label, also dubbing him 'a really conservative guy,' 'a hard-line conservative' and 'a clear conservative.' Plus, she emphasized how he's 'a conservative Catholic'."
--Brent Baker of the Media Research Center
From the Litmus Test Files: "We simply want to determine if Judge Roberts is a mainstream thinker. ... This is not, and let me emphasize that, this is not a game of 'gotcha' and document requests and in general, information requests are not an end, a goal to prove something. They're a means to simply determining Justice Roberts' judicial views. That's all we want."
--Chuck Schumer
"Judge John Roberts cannot be given the opportunity to make law for what may well be the next 30 years."
