A Stealthy Lesson

07.20.2005 / Craig Crawford

Pro-life conservatives face an unknown danger in Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. They might well have another David Souter on their hands, a nominee thought to be a social conservative but who turns out to be a solid vote for Roe v. Wade's protection of abortion rights. Roberts is a BLANK SLATE on this issue, when you consider how his contradictory stands cancel each other out. And the history of stealth nominees is that conservatives tend to be the ones eventually shocked and enraged. If they take it for granted that the Bush White House has some backroom assurance from Roberts that he will cripple or overturn Roe, don't bet on it. Even if he gave them such assurance (which i doubt), he'll be above reach if it turns out he misled them to get the job. The confirmation hearing is the only chance for conservatives to get Roberts on the record about Roe BEFORE it's too late. If they think it's cute and clever for him to stay off the record and befuddle the liberals, there's no guarantee that liberals won't get the last laugh.
