Messages from a lost world...

Others, including Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, are expected to push for votes against confirmation in order to send a message to the White House.What message could Senator Edward M. Kennedy possibly have for the White House that the White House doesn't already know?

Isn't this tacit admission that Roberts will be confirmed? Isn't the amazing disappearance of stories about the Roberts confirmation from the web pages of the New York Times an admission of the same?

I was just saying the same thing to someone at lunch today... amazing how Roberts has breezed through the process with so little attention when it's likely that he will lead the court for 40 years! I guess the Sandra Day O'Connor replacement will be the fighting ground for the Dems since they couldn't find fault with Roberts. Unless Bush opts to go with someone who says explicitly (or has a body of work that suggests strongly) that he or she supports access to abortion, it will be a longer and more vicious process.
