Judge Roberts Disqualified by Record
I think Sen. Brownback (R) of Kansas just put his finger on it. In a
discussion of Judge Roberts's record on civil rights, he said we shouldn't
look to his record as an attorney, but to his record as a judge, and then
he pointed out that he didn't have much of a record as a judge, some 52
cases in all, and really only one that went to the issue. So I immediately
agreed with Sen. Brownback (R) of Kansas and moved to dismiss Judge Roberts
as uniquely unqualified for the highest court in the land by simple virtue
of lack of experience, lack of any sort of record we can look to in order
to evaluate his qualities for the Supreme Court, much less the position
Chief Justice. How does a man with almost no judging experience even get
nominated to the most important position in Justice? This is incompetence
of administration beyond your Michael Browns and Michael Chertoffs and John
Boltons, and the rest of the ridiculous crew.
I remain astounded that anyone with any self-respect and education supports
the actions of this president.

Since President Bush has made two nominations for the US Supreme Court, and both nominees have been relatively unknown, we must take the time to figure out why. The discussion in the media has been short on the why and nobody seems to know what either candidate believes or how they might vote.
What the President seems to overlook is that the average person will supply the reason(s) for the President when he fails to supply them himself. His mom "has a good heart" and he didn't nominate here. Right now, with his low approval rates, he's daring the nation to supply reasons for his nominations that he clearly isn't going to like. In short, without adequate information, people will create the "best possible" explanation for what they don't know.
