Note the bias in these words from Linda Greenhouse of the NYT.

There are others, potential nominees whom the president might have chosen, who probably also feel a lump in the throat when they think about the Supreme Court, but it is caused by anger rather than reverence. That is not to say that Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, whom President Bush had offered as his models for a Supreme Court selection, do not respect the institution, but their stance is one of opposition to many currents of modern legal thought that the court's decisions reflect.

Now the question is whether Judge Roberts, if confirmed, will, like those two justices, commit himself to recapturing a distant constitutional paradise in which the court was faithful to the original intent of the framers or whether, like the justice he would succeed, he finds himself comfortably in the middle rather than at the margin.

Omigosh! How amazingly terrible for a judge to want to be faithful to the "original intent of the framers" rather than reflect currents of "modern legal thought." Her derision for the originalist view is so clear yet there is no reason given why this is so. It's just an accepted fact for her. No proof is necessary.
