- By Christian Hartsock
Conservatives have gone into ecstatic raptures over Judge John G. Roberts, President Bush's nominee to the Supreme Court, on the mere basis of what others have said about him. This is, pretty much, because What Others Have Said About Him is all that anyone truly knows.
Conservative radio talk show host Sean Hannity, who seems to harbor an instinctual compulsion to embrace any move President Bush makes, has wrapped his arms around Roberts and said on his radio show that Bush must have made the right decision inasmuch as he has a history of appointing conservatives to high positions, such as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleeza Rice (who describes herself as "mildly pro-choice").
