She ain't too bad looking either. Maybe Bill will get Hillary to appoint him to the Supreme Court if she becomes Prez so he can check out some hot Justice lovin'. 
Good lord 
If they could have, I'm sure they'd have used it. AP hates Bush and is pretty blatant with its bias.Precious said:

Wow, the AP is biased? Absolutely ridiculous. I can take you saying the Post, CNN, MSNBC, or Fox are biased, but the AP? The AP has a long, established tradition of being completely neutral on political matters because its stories/pictures are offered to every single newspaper in America, regardless of political affliation. If the AP was biased, only half of the nation's newspapers would pick up its stories, meaning that it would have gone outta business a long time ago.

I'm implying that half of the papers in this nation are liberal leaning and vrai was implying that the AP was liberally biased, which I say is complete crap.
BTW, in the 2004 Election, more newspapers endorsed President Bush than Senator Kerry...shows to me that there is not this overwhelming liberal bias in the media.
You are insane. Either that or you're just so used to liberal bias that you don't even notice it anymore.rraley said:
Why would they use those stupid pictures of Bush? They used that
one not once but TWICE.I shall dig up some of their archives and point out the adjectives and adverbs that color their stories.
From a quick reading of some background information on Judge Roberts, this is some early conclusions I have drawn. First of all, reliable conservative. Secondly, more moderate temperament (aka, Rehnquist style rather than Scalia style). He is highly, highly qualified to be on the Supreme Court.
While it is apparent that he is not a big fan of Roe v. Wade (he authored a brief for the Court that argued for its reversal), and despite the fact that he is being named to fill the vacancy of Justice O'Connor (whose swing positioning makes her seat all the more valuable to both sides), I don't see any reasoning for his *potential* filibuster. Even if Roberts decides one day to overturn Roe, there are still five votes to uphold it (the four of the liberal bloc plus Kennedy).
For me, a judicial nominee's most important characteristic is temperament. Roberts' has a relaxed, reasoned one and that is the type we need on the Court. So, I say he should be confirmed.
