The question is will the Roberts confirmation break up the puppet masters like PAW. There are plenty of Roberts around and the MSM won't ever be able to predict one in advance while Bush is calling the shots.

You can't give anyone a lifetime appointment to any judicial position and have any idea who they will be a decade later.

The twelve-year term limit for judges is an important idea, and with Bush getting 3 or 4 USSC justices during his 2nd term, the Democrats may finally become receptive to the idea...
