Roberts Hearings

John Roberts used a baseball analogy to describe how he sees his role as a Supreme Court Judge. He says his job is to call balls and strikes, not to pitch or hit. Lets hope that means he won't disturb settled law (e.g. Roe v. Wade.)

I think the left ought to let this one slide, since he probably won't be any further right than the man he is replacing. However, the replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor is now back in the air; let's concentrate on finding a suitable (i.e. woman centrist) replacement for her.
