John Roberts Isn't Doing Us Any Favors By Answering Questions

Let's keep in mind one simple fact while John Roberts goes before a Senate committee: he is applying for a job. Everyone acts as if it's rude to ask prying questions or get a sense of what Roberts is actually like before we name him to a lifetime appointment to one of the most powerful posts in our country. Bull. John Roberts wants to be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He wants it bad. What jurist worth their salt wouldn't? No one is forcing him to take this nomination. Just remember that he's not doing us any favors by deigning to answer our questions. We're doing HIM a favor by granting Roberts the honor of being considered for such a plum and powerful position.
