Boring Choice?

Not really, says NY Post's John Podhoretz. Much bolder when you consider the pressure to appoint a woman or minority - or both - for O'Connor's spot. But the most interesting aspect about John G. Roberts as the nominee is that if Bush could find someone that even the Left has to concede is a solid jurist, this is the guy.

When Teddy Kennedy began the successful war against Robert Bork, he swung for the fences instantly by declaring that Bork wanted to return America to an age of back-alley abortions. If all Schumer can come up with is "I can't deny he's got a lot going for him," Roberts will be wearing that black robe by the first Monday in October. Declaring that someone possesses "outstanding legal credentials" isn't a good foundation for a bloody, furious, crazed battle.

Quite possibly the toughest possible nominee to try and "Bork", not that the Left won't try anyway - on principle. Roberts is the kind of judge that will elicit howls from Liberals but no coherent argument can be made against him. Those who try will reveal themselves as moonbat nutjobs instantly.

And the pajamahadeen are ready to tear to shreds anything they can throw at him.

Right-Wing News has good round-ups of the early reaction from the Right and the Left. Not the contrast is tone and connection to reality.
