Here is how we should tie together the Roberts nomination and other Bush failures, such as the CIA Betrayal:
- Bush has a habit of rewarding cronies for doing his dirty work. (Gonzales, Rove, Katherine Harris, the list goes on.)
- Bush's cronies have done a lot of dirty work (voter suppression, unlawfully torturing/holding prisoners, outing CIA operatives, etc.)
- Roberts is one of Bush's cronies, and has been involved in some of the dirty work (stealing the 2000 election, Starr associate, etc.)
- This is where we draw the line in the sand, and stop rewarding Bush underlings for playing dirty politics, stretching the rule of law to the breaking point, and hurting our country.

Roberts has only two years of experience as a judge. He spent the rest of his career as a Bush partisan. I am sure we can other candidates with more applicable experience.
