isn't this interesting? folk who oppose the bush administration are trying to gather information about robert's record--the right media apparatus is already working to divert attention onto personality conflicts and trivia as a way to generate an adverse response on the part of the right's footsoldiers to any serious interrogation of roberts by the judicary committee. presumably the "logic" of this tack is to cause the right to question any attempt to evaluate roberts on his record and politics. so much for respect for process--but this has never been the strong suit of the populist right in its present form.
