The news that the White House will invoke executive privelege and also honor the client-lawyer relationship is not a surprise. John Roberts worked for two Republican administrations, offering private legal assessments that have yet to be opened to historians or the public. Now that Roberts is President Bush’s choice to join the Supreme Court, some […]

First Feinstein, then Byrd and now http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3hcr.htm? Senator Hillary Clinton has confided to associates that she intends to vote FOR Bush Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Unless some unforeseen development occurs around Roberts, Clinton will throw her support behind confirmation, says a top source. “Look, we’re not thrilled President Bush […]

The Coalition of The Chillin’ was created in response to not only the filbuster deal created by the “Gang of 14” Senators, but also in response to the sky-is-falling positions from the right and left. In our collective, calm, cool, minds the deal simply pushed off the head-to-head ultimate battle to some time later. ] […]

Karl Maher from Vote for Judges has ‘turned the volume’ down at his site. So he graciously allowed me to post his entry for the Coalition of The Chillin’ here at Strata-Sphere. In lieu of a link, I’ll venture this comment, which recasts a couple of recent posts at VFJ: President Bush, over the rest […]

Between the comments of the republican moderates as posted here and these comments a filibuster is out. The possibility of a Democratic filibuster against Supreme Court nominee John Roberts in the Republican-controlled Senate seemed to all but disappear Wednesday.

Leon at Redstate made the comment you can discern a person by their enemies and how they react. If the open thread on DailyKOs was any example of this, then John Roberts is going to be an interesting nominee. What stunned me was the massive amount of surrender. It has finally hit many what has […]

From what I am able to read and hear briefly about John Roberts it appears this could be a good solid choice. I think what is in his favor is his 39 cases he has presented to the USSC. This has provided him a solid, respected reputation across the political spectrum which should serve him […]

Redstate sources say it will be a real surprise, which probably knocks out Clement and others. They say Janice Rogers Brown is in DC – that is still my hope and now my last minute prediction due to her rulings on Eminent Domain. It’s become a big guessing game as WH teaches the press a […]

The announcement is tonight and it is time for the Coalition of The Chillin’ to speak up. We have been waiting for this true test of the Coalition’s wisdom and we also have a chance to influence the weekend debate if we can pull together a Carnival of The Chillin’ for posting on Friday. So […]
