Souter in Roberts' Clothing?

Though I do respect and often enjoy reading Ann Coulter’s work on her website, this is not to say that she is the definitive voice when it comes to conservative issues in politics. The latest example comes in her argument that President George W. Bush’s Supreme Court nominee, John Roberts, is essentially a blank slate and could potentially be a David Souter in disguise. She makes some valid arguments but I still believe that not enough is known about him to make a sound judgment on his confirmation as of yet. For the time being we should support the President’s decision until the confirmation process has begun and we can make a more valid decision on whether Roberts is the right choice for the Supreme Court or not.
