Ann Coulter hates John Roberts. (One Point Roberts)

Submitted by alex on July 21, 2005 - 7:56am.

Ann Coulter has just called Bush Supreme Court nominee John Roberts a "Souter in Roberts' clothing." Lack of understanding of literary allusion aside I think she may have a point. Conservatives tend to scream conspiracy when looking at recent history and the stream of judges that have become disappointingly unbiased and that were nominated by Republican Presidents.

To me this simply means three things:

  1. Political ideologues of either party are going to be disappointed with any important individual that doesn't face reelection.
  2. Judges can't be "reliable" in the dirty power-grubbin' ways of Washington
  3. Roberts might not be too bad. (I was expecting so much worse.)

(Attempt to write complete post referencing Ann Coulter without linking to this site failed miserably.)

don't forget man-hands!

(also, i believe a "Souter in Roberts' clothing" is reference to David Souter, supreme court justice that HW Bush selected who turned out to be liberal. and, he's one of our countries most noteable nerds)

I'm sorry

But this site is amazing. I read it at work and felt like Vince Vaughn at the dinner table in "The Wedding Crashers."

Yeah, I know what man-hands w

Yeah, I know what man-hands was trying to say with the clothing-Souter comment, it's just an extremely poor way to say it- laughable even. Oh man-hands, can't you afford a decent copywriter? Or escort service even? Jeez- total strangers are risky business.

This is why...

Political ideologues of either party are going to be disappointed with any important individual that doesn't face reelection.

This is why Supreme Court justices should never, ever, ever be popularly elected.
