The John Roberts Saga: The Questioning Begins, Part 2`

John Roberts has been thrown a multitude of questions on a variety of issues his way already today. They range from Abortion, voting rights, to the Separation of Church and State. Thus far, and my liberal friends will not like this, but Im actually impressed with Mr. Roberts. Based on his comments thus far he seems to want to know the facts before he makes a decision, he's adamant about looking at the big picture and base his decisions by keeping an open mind. As many predicted, abortion was a subject he avoided giving no clear yay or nay to the Roe v Wade decision regardless of how much Arlen Specter drilled him. Its a topic I have an certain spin on, and said opinion is not very popular. Senators Feingold and Graham dont seem to have grasped the concept that he cant comment or give his opinion on cases that either are or could face his current court or the Supreme Court. They are really grasping at straws bringing up issues when he first began his law career, specifically working with the Reagan Administration where he was specifically responsible for projecting the administrations policies assuming they were his opine. They are also bringing up some cases, where by the way he was paid to assist his clients interests, also as opines of his personal views. All the while, Roberts has maintained that he wouldnt be a very successful judge if he used his personal views in consideration of his decision. So far.. I have to grade the Senators questions a C-. I understand that they have to give some background on some of the issues.. so do it. Then get to your question. Dont beat around the bush.. Just ask the question you really want the answer to. Quit asking questions that he has repeatedly stated that ethics will not allow him to answer. Dont ask leading questions... such as "I dont believe that the burning of the flag is a freedom of speech.. how do you feel about that?" Dont tell him how you believe..... just ask the question.

Does this really have to be that difficult?
