Roberts is NOT qualified
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 05:41 AM by FSogol
He has 2 years of experience as a judge. There is NO way he is the most qualified person in this country to lead the highest court in the land.

Roberts will ruin our judicial system the way Brown ruined FEMA and Bolton is ruining our diplomatic corps. He is the latest in Bush's poor personnel choices.

Repeat this loud and often.

1. Absolutely true, and I don't know why more people don't say it. The ONION
gets this point and comes across in fine form:

Bush Nominates First-Trimester Fetus To Supreme Court


September 14, 2005 | Issue 41•37

WASHINGTON, DC—In a press conference Monday, President Bush named a 72-day-old gestating fetus as his nominee to fill the Supreme Court seat that opened following the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

"Already, this experienced and capable embryo has demonstrated during his or her in utero existence a deep commitment to the core principles of the Constitution," Bush said. "It is with great pride that I nominate this unborn American patriot to the highest court in the land."

If confirmed by Congress, the bean-sized vertebrate would be the nation's first prenatal Supreme Court justice.

The unnamed fetus, who made headlines only three weeks ago when he or she was appointed to the Virginia State Supreme Court after working at a private law practice for five hours, has enjoyed a meteoric career in American jurisprudence. A remarkable prodigy who graduated from Georgetown Law School mere days after his or her neural folds fused, the nominee reportedly shares much of the conservative, pro-business philosophy of the Bush White House.

2. Some idiot was on Lou Dobbs two days ago saying that
Roberts had the finest legal mind in history. I screamed at him. What legal mind? What experience does this right wing hack have? Another incompetent selected to the highest court in the land. Roberts is a typical repuke idiot who can't think.

3. Gops get their county chairmen to call in as "regular folks"
Patrician rich guys adopt laconic drawls and act like an everyman when they call in to cspan and such. They are actors.
