Bush accepted responsibility for these? Really? Are you sure? I'd like to see the quotes where he accepted responsibility for these if you don't mind.Brigand said:Bush has taken the blame for a number things, over the years, including the nonsense about Iraq's WMD and the African Uranium charge.
JFrench said:Bush should take ultimate responsibility for hurricane Katrina. Like Harry Truman said "The buck stops here". Its taken Bush 5 years to learn that lesson.
And how can you say Roberts is a good nominee when the man hasn't made one ruling yet? What are you basing this on? What people say and what they actually do are often two different things.
danarhea said:Because I am listening to the hearings in my office. I have been listening to them for 3 days now. Roberts is very bright, with an excellent grasp of the Constitution. His answers have satisfied me. He will not be a judicial activist. He will only interpret the Constitution. What he has done in the past was part of representing clients, and in order to represent a client, he must take their side in a legal argument. That has no bearing on how he would rule in a particular case.
Because of what I have been listening to in the hearings, I am confident that Roberts will make an excellent Chief Justice.

Although the rule book (Constitution, laws, etc.) states what the strike zone is, different umpires (judges) interpret it differently. Or to put it another way , not everyone sees things the same way. :lol:
