It’s hard to remember in the presence of human events as overwhelming as Hurricane Katrina, but our laws transcend our lives. Long after today’s presidents, senators, governors and mayors have left office, the decisions of today’s judges will stand. All of this underscores the importance of this week’s hearings of the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. So far, the court of public opinion seems to favor Judge John Roberts as the right man to succeed the late William Rehnquist as chief justice of the United States. Brownback and other senators need to proceed with care, fairness and foresight. What they do this week could reverberate through American life for many decades.

He must have done a hell of a favor for the Bush family. As far as Brownback, he will vote just like Dubbya tells him. He has yet to vote for Kansas or the national interests with his own thoughts.
What is wrong with John Roberts?
Isn’t the fact that he was nominated by the same bunch that put Michael Brown in charge of FEMA enough?
