The unknown judge

I've read all I care to read about Roberts for a while. I don't get the impression that we have another Scalia or Thomas here. He might turn out a Souter, who was appointed by the elder Bush and turned into to quite the liberal judge. At this point we just don't know.

Of all the quips I've read, this one pretty much says it all.

The first entry was from Yale law professor Robert Gordon, who said of Roberts: "He enjoys the kind of respect Kenneth Starr had before embarking on his anti-Clinton crusade, as a safe, sound man, not an ideological zealot like Edith Jones or wacko like Janice Rogers Brown. These qualities are going to make Roberts's confirmation easier. They are also what make him dangerous."

I guess judges are like a box of chocolates.
