more roberts: so far, so good

This piece from the Commie News Network shows that the guy seems to be consistent on his defense of the Constitution. He's on the right side (i.e., he favors the restraint of federal power) of school prayer and gender equity. And his heavy focus on legal and constitutional aspects over pragmatism is especially promising. Not to mention a willingness to kick dirt on Republicrats who need it--what's not to like about that?

Even though the guy's unproven and could turn out to be a clone of Souter I find myself liking him more and more. He seems to have that very rare combination that's all but extinct in today's judiciary. Not only does he know and understand the Constitution, but he actually respects it as the law of the land. He's no Thomas or Scalia, but he at least seems to be a reliable voice for constitutional authority.
