Well, it's a start

Glad to see that some American Senators, Republican and (particularly) Democrat, are seeing reason on the Roberts nomination - see the New York Times article here. Certainly, this isn't the end of the road, but we're not hearing the kind of nasty rhetoric that could be cropping up at this point. Congress should keep things civil at the very least, and Democrats should only start pulling things like filibusters if Roberts is demonstratively interested in legislating from the bench. At that point, he'll deserve to be stopped.

I hope neither side has some tricks up its sleeve...
