Introduce, But Don't Confirm

Democratic senator Evan Bayh thought so much of Judge John Roberts a few weeks ago that he introduced him to the Senate Judiciary Committee prior to the Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

But as soon as the Democratic apparatchiks decried Roberts' formalism, Bayh, a presidential aspirant, turned on him.

It's such political mettle that will make Bayh an excellent president; and dare Folly say, a future Profiles in Courage award winner.
