fall in line, harry.
So Harry Reid is going to vote against confirming John Roberts as the new chief justice. Yeah, that's shocking. He can do whatever he wants, and his nay vote won't stand in the way of Roberts ascending the court, but I wish he'd just fall in line.
Under Bush, Roberts is about as good as it's going to get. He doesn't strike me as a loose cannon or a scary ideologue. I think the Democrats should do as the Republicans did when Clinton appointed Ginsburg.
And besides, it's the next justice that's going to be a lightning rod. I think we all know that's going to be a fierce fight. So why quibble over Roberts? Especially when he's all but assured to be confirmed.
