John Roberts Aces Confirmation Hearing

Judge Roberts aced his confirmation hearing last week, presenting himself as anything but an ideologue.

Not that it matters as far as the ultimate result, since unless Republicans join in, a 10-8 decision of the Senate Judiciary Committee favoring Judge Roberts is almost assured; but Democrats were unable to create an issue that would derail his eventual confirmation by the full Senate.

It looks increasingly like a sure thing.
