In politics, you get one shot every once in awhile to stop a nomination. Why? Because the general public tunes out of the whole process unless you can make an obvious case a la Bork. Regardless of how valid you consider your feelings re: Roberts, the general public did not see anything to be concerned about. Why ruin your chance at the next nominee (Rogers-Brown? Alberto?) by fighting a losing battle.
