Political payback for Roberts nomination?

Apparently, down in Florida, U.S. Supreme Court nominee John Roberts had his mitts in the Bush 2000 Election theft. If seems fishy that Roberts, who aided lawyers to stop the recount in Florida and "and too worried about ... the Democrats' efforts to subvert the voting process through recounts divining voters' wishes on pregnant, hanging and dimpled chads," who be at the top of the list and ultimately be given the prize by BushCo. Last time I checked, this was political patronage. BushCo really knows who to pick them. His shoe-in is coming under more and more scrutiny with many questions concerning his lack of experience and non-stances on issues currently on the front line.

Roberts is almost like a dark horse. We know nothing about this guy and what he believes. BushCo is stonewalling on document releasing and demands a simple up-and-down, not a "litmus test." This is infuriating - the point is when selecting a lifetime Supreme Court nominee, it is of utmost importance to discover who this person will be and how he or she will represent the United States. If it is a so-called litmus test, so be it. This "test" is administered for the benefit of citizens and how a nominee can affect their lives. This is not a test for partisan beliefs, it is one to find out if this nominee will interpret the Constitution and uphold the law that Americans live by - important to national security, quality of live, freedoms guaranteed to us by our founders- inalienable rights. Why is BushCo so afraid of this? Why can't they play by the Supreme Court nomination process rules laid down before every Administration from the beginning? No scrutiny, no oversight, no checks and balances. This is NOT a government that wants to live in a democratic society.
