Roberts Hearing Should Be Delayed
I wrote on Friday that confirmation hearings for Judge Roberts should be delayed in the wake of the Katrina disaster. Armando at Daily Kos shared this view.
It seems some Democrats are coming round to this way of thinking. TV news this morning is reporting that Sen. Chris Dodd says Bush should ask O'Connor to stay on. Republicans, including Sen. John Cornyn, apparently want to press on with the hearings.
My prediction: They will be delayed. No one's heart is in them.
Update: Word reaches me that Kennedy and Schumer are calling for a delay out of respect.
