Did you read the Novak column I posted?

Yep. Classic Novak. You can always count on him for the most conservative read. I like Novak, much as I liked Safire, when they are reporting on their sources. When they do commentary, neither brought/bring a great deal to the table.

As for the Supremes, I'm still holding fire, waiting to see how it develops. Simply don't know enough to comment on what's likely to happen.

I wouldn't vote for Roberts were I in the Senate, but that goes without saying.

>>NARAL: Roberts' Adoptions Jeopardize Abortion Rights
by Scott Ott

(2005-08-10) -- A new TV ad from the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) claims that Supreme Court nominee John Roberts adopted two children to undercut a woman's right to choose abortion.

"Judge Roberts' shameless involvement in an abortion alternative is a threat to women everywhere," said NARAL President Nancy Keenan. "If Roberts had his way, every unwanted pregnancy would end in adoption rather than abortion. His vicious assault on women's rights should disqualify him from sitting on any court, let alone the Supreme Court."

The ad comes in the same week that another NARAL spot established Judge Roberts' involvement in abortion clinic bombings.

"NARAL will continue to make allegations about Roberts until President Bush drops him and nominates someone who holds a clear conservative position on Roe v. Wade," said Mrs. Keenan. "The haziness of his views makes it more difficult for us to whip up the rage needed for a big NARAL fundraising campaign."
