I'm not too upset with Roberts being confirmed ONLY BECAUSE he is replacing Rehnquist and this won't alter the balance of the Supreme Court (otherwise I think he'll turn out to be a kinder and gentler Scalia). However, the Democrats should not defected in such large numbers because if Bush nominates someone similar to Roberts for O'Connor's seat, then they will have a tough time argueing against his/her confirmation.
