Opposition party collapses; Roberts to lead Supreme Court
Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee faced reality today (no, they didn't remarry it, just remembered what it was) and voted the nomination of John G. Roberts out of committee Thursday. Three Democrats joined the 10 Republicans on the committee to send the nomination to the Senate floor for a vote with a "positive" recommendation.
Observers (okay, maybe just me) noted the exasperation on the face of liberal activist Ralph Neas, president of People for the American Way as he stood behind the Senate panel while it voted. His group led the opposition to Roberts to no avail. Senate Democrats will now retire to plot a strategy against the next nominee, who could be named as early as Friday morning.
Pundits have suggested a weakened President Bush will want to avoid a fight in the Senate and will nominate a moderate to replace Sandra Day O'Connor. But Bush doesn't pay much attention to the polls and is likely to nominate a solid conservative. I'm still betting on Janice Rogers Brown.
