Disappointing News for the Left

According to this Washington Post piece, "Conservatives Remain Steady in Support of Roberts."

The article contains one paragraph that is worthy of further comment:

Some Republican strategists said they have calculated that support for Roberts among Republican senators is locked down and that Roberts's supporters want to try to attract Democrats by packaging him as more centrist and less doctrinaire than had originally been assumed.

Note to the unnamed "Roberts's [sic] supporters": Don't waste your time. The opposition to Roberts on the left is real, and it is immutable. Democrats who are determined to vote against him (or who are instructed to do so by the leftist special interest groups), and many in the press (including those who would sink so far as to look into his children's adoption records) aren't going to be impressed or coopted by the judge's 10 hours of work on the Romer case.

Anyone who thinks differently must also believe that Hillary Clinton's going to get a favorable second look from conservatives because she's expressed sorrow about the "tragic choice" of abortion.
