Windows Vista

Filed under Tech

The next version of Windows has an official name. Forget “Longhorn” and say hi to “Windows Vista.” Well, it rolls off the tongue and isn’t clunky. It sounds a little too pleasant since you can expect a mess of problems when it comes out. There will be security holes, bugs, compatibility issues, and annoying new […]

Bombs Rip Through Egyptian Resort

Filed under Terrorism
Comments Off

We’re all Egyptians too!

At least 49 people have died in three car bomb attacks in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt. I have little doubt al-Qaeda or a related group is behind the attacks. This attack along with the ones in London and Baghdad show the Islamists really want to turn up the intensity. They are also demonstrating […]

A Kossite at WaPo

Filed under Law

While not digging into a 5-year-old’s private life (does he even have one?) Washington Post writer Robin Givhan “givhs” into her inner Bush-basher and goes after Judge Roberts’ family for looking too traditional:
It has been a long time since so much syrupy nostalgia has been in evidence at the White House. But Tuesday night, when […]

Chad Evans writes that the war we face is indeed a religious war. It’s just not against Islam.

Coburn Supports Roberts

Filed under Law

About Judge Roberts Sen. Tom Coburn said, “My litmus test is, do they believe in the limited role of the court in terms of following and interpreting the constitution and not making policy, and I’m convinced right now that he is interested in limiting their decisions to what constitutionally they’re supposed to do.”
But here’s the […]

Not a Federalist

Filed under Law

Judge John Roberts has never been a member of the Federalist Society, that group of conservative lawyers–a “gigantic networking club” to use one description. I don’t care how many conservatives are praising his nomination–they don’t know as much about him as they want you to believe–I worry this guy is another David Souter.
Why is President […]

Roberts Not a Confident Choice

Filed under Law
Comments Off

Judge John Roberts may turn out to be even more conservative than Justice Scalia. However, we don’t know his judicial philosophy very well. He’s only been a judge on the D.C. appelate court for two years. Even though he helped write an anti-Roe legal brief during the Reagan administration he said that landmark case settled […]

Another Case to Tar Roberts

Filed under Law
Comments Off

Look for a recent case on the treatment of Gitmo prisoners, Hamdan v Rumsfeld, to be used by Democrats and Leftists to make Judge Roberts look like a wild-eyed crazy man. This will go along side the “french fry case” [and here].

Fools

Filed under Law

When Kossites decide to go after judicial nominee’s kids they should first figure out if they’re old enough to have done something damaging to their parents. Jack Roberts looks a little young to care about his sexuality and to be an addict.
UPDATE: Some sensible commenters have properly bashed the idea of trying to smear a […]

Defending Roberts’ Opinion on Hedgepeth

Filed under Law

Beldar looked at Roberts’ Hedgepeth opinion and is pleased with what he saw. Roberts wasn’t happy with police arresting a girl for eating a french fry in a Washington, D.C. metro station but the question was whether any constitutional rights were violated.
John Hinderocker adds:
Roberts’ opinion is a good example of conservative jurisprudence. He begins by […]

Roberts Watch

Filed under Law

TTLB has a Roberts tracking page, and NRO’s Bench Memos has plenty of running commentary.
UPDATE: Kossites watching Bush’s announcement noticed this:
When Roberts thanked his family, he mentioned his son, Jack…Roberts’ wife’s face fell. It was like a poker tell. I think we should research Jack.
Another commenter wondered if Jack Roberts is gay. That’s […]

Supreme Court Announcement in Prime Time

Filed under Law

[To all Instapundit readers I have plenty of more links on Roberts in the post above.]
President Bush will announce his first Supreme Court nominee during prime time tonight. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard a President do that. This from a guy who rarely does prime time press conferences. It sounds like it will […]

The Speed of Justice

January 9, 2006. That’s when Democratic operatives accused of vandalizing Republican vans on Election Day 2004 will stand trial. That’s fourteen months. My what a break-neck pace E. Michael McCann’s office takes on cases embarassing to the Democratic Party.
