AND INTENTIONALLY SO, IMHO! He chose a pretty boy without much of a record, but one who would inflame and divert from the Iraq War and Rove...the more we fight about this seemingly good (or bad)candidate, the more our collective attentions are diverted from things that matter more. They get us in the SHORT term AND in the LONG term.

"The effects of placing another conservative on the court are VASTLY MORE SERIOUS than anything that could happen because of this Rove situation. In Rove, we could cripple a GOP Administration for a couple years, tops. In Roberts, there is the potential to change the course of this nation for decades."

How many more HUMANS have to be crippled by this current Administrations' greed, hypocrisy and lust for power?
