How did we end the summer ... stuck between a Roberts and a hard place We've spent months poring over 60,000 pages from the National Archives and reams of personal profiles for clues about how John Roberts would rule on the highest court in land. ... The bottom line is that barring some last minute photo of John Roberts popping out of a cake at a KKK rally smoking crack, he's going to be confirmed. And if he were magically derailed, who would be next ... John Roberts may turn out to be as far right as People for the American Way says. But he may also be as good as it gets under this administration.
