Since I’ve already mentioned this, I thought that I’d drop in my two cents on the Roberts hearings.

As expected, he’s handling the hearings very well, showing himself to be a calm, temperate judge. It’s obvious that his real interest is the law and the fair exercise of the law. Both Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden pushed him hard (especially Biden. I guess the Presidential campaign has started  ), but he didn’t crack. He kept the discussion to the law and the precedents and successfully avoided talking about topics that he thought might come before him, either as a Supreme Court justice or (if the confirmation should go the other way) as his current “day job” of appellate judge.

Every time I hear Judge Roberts speak, I become more impressed regarding his understanding of the law. At this point, I can’t imagine that anyone could possibly be a better Chief Justice than him. In fact, I suspect that most Democrats will vote to confirm when its presented to the general body for a vote. Of course, I also expect that all Democrats on the committee will vote against, “just because”…

I tell you, Joe’s really going out of his way to lose my vote.
