Roberts has been so guarded in his responses too. Just about ANYTHING that could be deemed controversial he has danced around. Very scary that on this issue he has no problem at all stating his views. That demonstrates just how little folks support our industry on Capital Hill. All those hours of confirmation hearings and I know only two things about Roberts,
1) he sides with Scalia on 1st Amendment issues as they relate to Adult and
2) his favorite movies are Dr Zhivago and North by Northwest.
Folks should consider another thing too. Roberts has been the easy confirmation play by Bush. He is widely regarded as a shoe in for confirmation. The next Supreme Court appointment for Sandra Day O'conner is an opportunity for Bush to lean even more to the right and appease the Religious conservatives who so supported the GOP in 04.
