This "conservatives wary of Roberts re gay rights case" is SO transparent. [View All]

It's such a transparent ploy. I'd bet the White House made sure this little bit of information got out.

They did the same thing when Alberto Gonzales was being discussed as a possibility (you know, before his name became linked to the CIA leak scandal). All of a sudden it was news that CONSERVATIVES were upset at the possibility of Gonzales on the court, NOT liberals... because we just weren't quite sure what his opinions on abortion were. The whole thing smacked of a WH-generated PR push to give the impression that torture-boy was moderate, when you know damn well that whatever his opinions were, he'd make whatever ruling the White House wanted.

So now conservatives are "worried" about Roberts... because of ONE case he took on pro bono years ago as a lawyer in a firm. Yeah, right.

Now, when push comes to shove, Bush is going to say "Look, I can't make anybody happy. The right is mad at him for one thing, the left for another. I think that shows he's pretty moderate, don't you?"
