"Rhetorically speaking" is actually the name of the blog, where an interesting analysis of the initial Roberts React resides.
The early responses at Daily Kos have been fairly moderate, focussing on his fitness to serve rather than his ideology... However, feminist and pro-choice bloggers have been rather less willing to extend the benefit of doubt.
Feministing adds to the shared sense of dismay ('So pretty please take some fucking action and put a stop to this nightmare nominee'), while a host of other liberals instead worry that the Roberts nomination is going to push the Rove-Plame scandal off the front page...
The Roberts nomination is going to tell us all whether (abortion) is going to have the support of the big liberal web voices or whether abortion law is something that they're willing to trade for something else.
Flashing back for a moment to the discussion of anti-choice Dem Mike Blouin's campaign for governor. A friend asked me "is there anything the Democrats wouldn't sell out?" Now is the time to ask, and even if the battle doesn't look winnable, it's worth the fight.
