Roberts' First Groupie

Slow Joe will never live this down:

Exclusive Drudge sources in the U.S. Senate's Hart Building heard Democrat Senator Joe Biden say to Judge John G. Roberts in a private conversation on the hearing room floor: 'You're the best I've ever seen before the committee.'

If that isn't the epitaph of Donk opposition to this nomination, I can't think of a better one.

UPDATE: Here could be an epitaph for liberal judicial activism itself:

ROBERTS: I had someone ask me in this process, I don't remember who it was, but somebody asked me, you know, "Are you going to be on the side of the little guy," and you obviously want to give an immediate answer, but as you reflect on it, if the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy is going to win in court before me. But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy is going to win because my obligation is to the Constitution. That's the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that I'll look out for particular interests; I'll be on the side of particular interests. The oath is to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that's what I would do.

No wonder the David Podvins of the world are having kittens....
