Et Tu, Roberts?

Regarding John Roberts' betrayal of America in the Obamacare and Arizona immigration law cases, remember that Ann Coulter warned us about him seven years ago.

SOUTER IN ROBERTS' CLOTHING

But unfortunately, other than that that, we don't know much about John Roberts. Stealth nominees have never turned out to be a pleasant surprise for conservatives. Never. Not ever.

FOOL ME EIGHT TIMES, SHAME ON ME

Bush said "Trust me," and Republicans trust him. It shouldn't be difficult for conservatives to convince themselves that Roberts is our man. They've had practice convincing themselves of the same thing with Warren, Brennan, Blackmun, Stevens, O'Connor, Kennedy and Souter.

READ MY LIPS: NO NEW LIBERALS

It doesn't help to have someone who thinks that, as an original matter, the Constitution says nothing about state abortion laws if he is then going to "balance" the law against "the integrity of the institution," "public confidence in our system of justice," "the need for stability and predictability," "the sweet mystery of life," blah blah blah. The problem with establishment types is precisely that they worry about everything except the law. Just get the law right and shut up.
