Hey guys, NEWSFLASH, the Senate hasn't investigated Roberts yet
Advertisements [?]
I think that Chuck Schummer put it perfectly at the press conference...

He said (paraphrasing): We told the President what a consensus versus a non consensus nominee would be. This guy is somewhere in the middle. We'll have to look into him.

For all we know, this guy could molest children and kill puppies in his free time. For all we know, he could be a closet homosexual who secretly meets with gay rights groups.

I know, I know, he was already confirmed to the appeals court, but at the time he wasn't a controversial nominee for that job, they probably weren't trying to dig up dirt on him.

And god knows the White House vetting process is flawed. Do I even need to remind everybody about John Bolton, let alone Bernie Kerik.

This guy has a very slim record of judicial opinions, which means that his background will be more important.

So why don't we all take a deep breath and at least wait 24 hours before we start screaming "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT" or "DON'T FIGHT, DON'T FIGHT, DON'T FIGHT"
