[QUOTE="ezrider, post: 55886"] No I wouldn't tell you that. But that doesn't mean that Roberts' take on where the court should go in the future lines up as well as with what Bush would consider ideal compared to some of the other candidates on the short list for nomination. And from what I've seen watching his "answers" to the Senate commitee, I don't know how anybody watching could gain insight as to how he will rule once he gets there. I'm hearing a few out there that seem to be just swept away by watching his testimony, yet they don't know how he will rule since his testimony yields few if no answers to what he was asked. <font color="0000ff">If it was an appointment position it would be far more blatant, but as it is anomination that has to gain a majority approval of congress it has to be more subtle or more of a compromise.</font> Well I'm not so sure it's not an appointment position by default anyway since the Republicans have the clear majority easily in Senate votes. That's a big part of why he doesn't risk saying anymore than he absolutely has to. The only real risk he'd have is if he said something that caused anyone in the majority that he already has behind him to reconsider. He's playing it the safest way he can. The best way to not draw unwanted attention towards what he says is to say nothing. A good strategy and for the most part he's executed it pretty well. [/QUOTE]
