A John Roberts nomination note

Interesting item in the Wall Street Journal “Washington Wire”: “Blogosphere Bodes Well for Robert’s Confirmation Prospects”. The item claims, “…even on liberal sites, dialogue was ‘primarily neutral’ from July 19-Aug. 1.”

However, conservatives need to be ready.
Some liberals, encouraged by the Schiavo case, argue Democrats can make more progress pressing Roberts on right-to-die issues than on abortion. "It’s the dog that hasn’t barked yet," says Oakland, Calif., attorney Jon Eisenberg, author of new book, "Using Terri: the Religious Right’s Conspiracy to Take Away Our Rights."
I always have to ask, who is using Terri Schiavo?
