The Abortion Court

I do not know enough about John Roberts to comment on his nomination....yet. But I will make this prediction - for the next 6 - 8 weeks, all we are going to hear about is abortion. The single-issue ("minded") freaks on both sides are going to beat this horse silly. As for me, I would at least find it refreshing if, over the course of this soon to come blood-bath, the "pro-choice" folks would take the opportunity to discuss the concepts of "liberty," "the role of government," and the "proper scope of state power" and if the "pro-life" people, in turn, would talk about "federalism," "enumerated powers" and "unenumerated rights." But, then again, why would either side want to point out the obvious intellectual inconsistencies that they BOTH hold so dear?
