Coulter Opposes Roberts
Ann Coulter isn't happy with Bush's pick of John Roberts - or so she claims. She has a good point in that there is no reason to take even a 1% chance that a justice doesn't turn out to be what the President believes he is (i.e. Kennedy, O'Connor, Souter), especially when there are so many great candidates with conservative credentials.
Or this could be Ann Coulter making Roberts' confirmation easier - if there are no conservatives complaining, Dems will have to believe that he is an extreme conservative and might make it more difficult. Still, there better not be a single doubt in Bush's mind that Roberts is an originalist. I think Coulter's worry is probably needless (after all, not many liberal judges belong to the Federalist Society).
