So, Bush announced yesterday that John Roberts is his Supreme Court nominee. All in all, it could be a lot worse. He made Jeffrey Rosen’s list of “Principled Conservatives” in an article for TNR last December. NARAL’s hysteria doesn’t really seem warranted, considering most of the basis for calling him anti-choice is based on him working as Solicitor General for Reagan and Bush. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’s anti-choice, but it’s a good indicator. We’ll see what he says during his confirmation hearings. The ACLU hasn’t said much, but what they did mention makes me uneasy. Then again, I didn’t expect that I would agree with Bush’s pick. My hope was that he didn’t nominate some lunatic. Like The 2% Company says, more information is needed, but it appears Bush has nominated someone respectable.
