Compliments for John Roberts

John Roberts is the President's choice to be the next Supreme Court Justice. Supreme Court Justices get vote on a panel and determine how laws are interpreted, relate to the constitution, and if they are good laws. This is a lifetime post. The Supreme Court is very powerful and very difficult to defy or overturn. Basically what they say, goes. You probably knew all that, if not more.

Anyway, from all the news coverage I have mistakenly watched all the information I see about the man are "pleasant" compliments. Everyone is very impressed how charming and funny Mr Roberts. Apparently he's quite the character. I saw a friend of his on the morning show and he kept saying how he was more interested in John Roberts' wife and what a great woman she is. And on other shows whenever people who know him are asked about his leanings on issues they always answer first by stating what a gentleman, and a funny and charming one at that.

What's the deal? Why are the talking points consist of how charming the man is? People are talking about the next Supreme Court Justice and describing him like they would the neighborhood's top babysitter, a good person to car pool with, or someone who would be a good date for your friend who just had a tough break up.

It's Supreme Court Madness, people.
