Roberts "Fight" Now a "Skirmish"

The Christian Science Monitor has a must-read piece on the positioning of Democratic senators, liberal interest groups, and even conservative interest groups in the run-up to the next Supreme Court nomination. As we do move into that next phase of things, it's going to be very interesting to see what happens. I have to say, I'm even more worried this time than I was before the president nominated Judge Roberts. This has political firestorm written all over it, and all the bucket brigades in the world might not be enough to suppress it. President Bush could surprise us all again and opt for another decent jurist - here's hoping. Otherwise, batten down the hatches and secure the rigging.
