The Court

So - what is one to think? Is Judge Roberts going to be acceptable? Is he going to be conservative enough - will he turn back Roe v. Wade? Arrgh... I am so sick of that argument it nauseates me. First of all, none of them can turn it back. They could take the first step one could argue... but, if turning back to the states themselves is what the argument is, then I concur. The media portrays it as ending abortion... it won't, no matter what the court decides.
Regardless, I suspect he will be confirmed with some ease. His nomination nigh on guaranteed. There will be the usual group who will vote agin him, but the are becoming more and more insignificant. If they would just come up with something different, some new criteria, perhaps the dissenters would get the ear of the people, but the same thing over and over and over again? No longer resonates, at least with me.
So once again Mr. President, it matters not whom you have picked this time, or whom you will pick the next time, you will not please them all... in fact, as stated oft times in the past, you may not even be pleased yourself when the 'decisions' begin coming down. All one can do as President is make a pick, hopefully after a thorough investigation and hope for the best. Sorta like raising your children... show them the way and hope for the best. :)
