For a quick look at how the left develops an anti-Roberts meme, check out the HuffingtonPost's Peter Melhman who is writing, MAD MAGAZINE diary style about Chief Justice Robert's first 2 weeks on the job.
Here's a taste:
** What a couple of weeks. I know getting a job is better than actually performing it but still, you'd think the Supreme Court would be more fun than this.
First of all, as Chief Justice, I just assumed I was the boss and like all bosses, I could bring in my own people... **
Of course, this pissy little antic is designed to ignore the considerable experience Roberts brings to his job from his time as Chief Justice Rhenquist's clerk, and the numerous times he appeared before the Court arguing a case.
It ignores, as well, the nearly universal agreement among his supporters and critics that his intellect, enormous experience and scholarly demeaner will stand to enhance the Court, however they may feel about his judicial philosophy.
This is how the erosion begins... soon the MSM will refer to these quips as though they had some basis in fact. Some reporter some day will actually think he read leaked damning Roberts remarks about his first days at the Court and assume the Chief Justice is a dunce. Then the wolves will attempt to finish the job.
Memes are viral and this one is not as cute as it seems...

Didn't it strike you as odd that Roberts could withstand a week of "grilling" without giving any indication whatsoever who he is when not avidly trying to impress an employer, any employer? I pray he avidly wants to impress the public now, but don't feel good about a seasoned advocate who can only talk circles around every single thing in front of him. He's ALL cv and mouth. NO evidence of a MAN behind his facade. I do not care if you're liberal or conservative. You ought to have enough insight to admit this.
I think it stinks.
We should be celebrating our broad spectrum of beliefs in vigorous debate, achieving a balance slightly weighted to one side or another through constantly shifting coalitions.
That we don't suggests we're all doomed.
