President Bush's Roberts pick disappoints

Yep, it's official. I'm getting worried. No one seems to be answering the question of why Bush decided to pass on nominating a known originalist. I suspect it is because he wants no such person on the court.

This excerpt from Real Clear Politics just about says it all:

"The Republicans' ideal Supreme Court nominee is someone who might overturn Roe v. Wade, but won't. That makes President Bush's choice of John G. Roberts pure genius. If defenders of abortion rights condemn the pick, so much the better. Social conservatives will think they won. And when a court ruling later proves they haven't, Republican leaders can comfort them. So far, all is according to plan."
