John Roberts

Well as we get closer to John Roberts become Chief Justice, I would just like to say: Fellow conservatives be careful what you ask for. Now before I go on, I support Roberts for Chief Justice. I believe from all I have read and heard that he will be an Originalist. I do not think he will legislate from the bench. However this means that some conservative causes could be in danger.

Think about it, as I understand it, the Constitution requires that a contract made in one state must be honored in all states. So, if a homosexual couple get married in Massachusetts where gay marriage is legal, and they move to Oklahoma then Oklahoma must honor that marriage. You all know that eventually one of these cases will come before the Supreme Court. If John Roberts is a true Originalist, he must put his personal conviction aside and find to up hold such a union. To do anything else would be to be an activist.

I know there must be other examples, but that is the prevalent issue right now that comes to mind.

Sometimes we conservatives, in the name of principle loose battles, and that is just fine. Because, I believe that as long as we have our principles, we will win the culture war.
