[QUOTE="deliver_man, post: 57406"] Well, David Souter and Sandra O'Connor were both "stealth" candidates, and both turned out to be great disappointments to the extremist branch of the republican party. By appointing somone who seems pretty conservative, but hasn't issued many rulings to back it up, Bush takes a chance as well. You never know how someone like that is going to turn out once they get a lifetime seat on the highest court in the land. For Bush this choice is about political expediency more than anything. His poll numbers are way down as people grow more disillusioned about the situation in Iraq, and now his closest advisor is mixed up in a grand jury investigation over leaking classified material. The last thing Bush wants right now is a knock-down, drag-out fight over a supreme court nominee with bonafide rightwing credentials. Hence we got Roberts. Like I said, unless there's a smoking gun somewhere, he should be confirmed without incident. [/QUOTE]
