Neither - academic politics isn't good preparation for managing the country, and he'd be wasted as Secretary of Education. Instead, put him in charge of education for one of the Red states, where he'd have some real power.

Oh, right, so you'd rather have presidents whose judicial appointments you *know* will violate their oaths instead of one whose appointments *might* do so? Like that's an improvement.

We expected it from them, so it's no surprise. But we expected Roberts to be a man of honor.

If I thought Roberts was simply mistaken I wouldn't want him to be impeached. But as best I can tell, Roberts didn't rule as he did because he was wrong, but because he wanted that particular outcome and invented a reason to support it. *That* is what makes him an honorless political hack that betrayed his country.

Tossing it back to the voters isn't his job. His job is to uphold or strike down laws based on their constitutionality. He manifestly failed to do that and in the process betrayed his country.

Roberts is an honorless political hack who has violated his oath and betrayed his country. One of the first orders of business after the election should be for the House to impeach him.

As of right now, you're right - NM falls into the Likely to Safe categories. But those polls are also almost two months old, and things are sliding Romney's way. Who knows where NM will be in four months?

Will he ban it except in cases of rape, incest, and real risk to the mother in those areas where the federal rules hold sway? I doubt it.

That particular evolution was lightning fast, the first election that was a real contest.

The Libertarian candidate has zero chance of winning, and will be taking more votes from Romney than Obama. If you lived in New York or Utah it wouldn't matter, but in New Mexico it may.
