Using reverse psychology on John Roberts' nomination
Social Gospel Today suggests that Democrats use a little reverse psychology in commenting on the President's nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court....if you treat Roberts as if he is someone that wants to overturn Roe and institute mandatory school prayer, the Christian right will believe you. And they'll love Roberts and Bush because of it. What if instead, you said "We're pleased that Mr. Bush has selected such a well-qualified and moderate candidate to succeed Justice O'Connor. We understand that, in Mr. Robert's previous confirmation hearing, he recognized Roe v. Wade as good law and binding precedent. We believe that Mr. Roberts will support a woman's right to choose and preserve the separation between Church and State." This would undoubtedly drive the Christian right nuts. They'd realize that Bush hasn't given them what they demanded: someone "solid" on the hot-button issues.
