somedaybitchdiscussing the recent nom of Roberts to the BigBoyBench, Instapundit posted this reader email, which, because i can, i will snark. a lot.
Reader Edward Royce emails:
Hmmm.
"What do I think of him? Beats me. Just searched his hearing transcripts on the right to bear arms and found nothing. How is he on federalism and other limits on government power? Beats me again."
Great. O'Connor with a penis.
I'm supposed to be happy about this?
do you have something in particular against penises? jealous possibly?
7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republicans. 3 of them are acceptable, which shows you how incompetent Republicans are at choosing judges.
acceptable to whom? acceptable to you because you personally like them? here's a newsflash... the United States does not conduct its business according to your personal preferences.
Frankly this conservative is completely underwhelmed.Bush might think he's got some sort of mojo going on, but if Roberts doesn't turn out to be a solid conservative, and not another O'Connor, then the GOP is screwed.
here's another newsflash for you. the Constitutional health of the Nation is more important than any political party agenda, fucknut.
I know a lot of conservatives who have been adding up the support given, and lack of results received from the GOP. I've been asking a lot of conservatives to name which issues or agendas the GOP has come through on for conservatives.
It's a damn small list.
Sigh. F***ed by the GOP, yet again. I'm done. The GOP's donation letters go into the trash and the next time I vote might be 2008 or maybe 2010. The GOP better not expect me to give a rat's ass about them in 2006.
grow the fuck up, you self-absorbed git. Supreme Court justices are, ideally, chosen precisely because they demonstrate an ability to rise above party rhetoric and agenda and, wacky idea i know, decide cases on their merit alone.
again...get off my side.

But, wg, don't you realize that it's all about him? Mr. Royce, I mean? I'm honestly surprised that the President didn't consult him directly. What was he thinking? O_o
Sheesh. On the bright side, my vote in 2006 looks like it might carry a tad more weight.
