crap shoot

ok, so i have been vaguely amused by the recent nomination for supreme court justice.......and by the reactions on both sides of the aisle over that candidate........mostly because history has shown that nominees tend to vote their own mind after confirmation....and that justices nominated by conservative presidents have been much more likely to end up leaning more toward the middle than justices nominated by liberal presidents........this new guy once clerked for rehnquist.......who turned out to be a closet liberal after his nomination by richard nixon.......so the potential votes by justice roberts may well be like a crap shoot, with neither side pleased in the end.....certainly not the far right, who will expect this guy to uphold stuff like the 10 commandments in government buildings......and while he may personally agree with them in spirit, he is bound to uphold the constitution rather than his own agenda......or the agenda of those who supported his nomination........presumably rehquist will have a bit of influence over him initially, or at least so far as to encourage him to weight the facts in cases against law not passion....... it may all turn out just fine in the end.......
