The Motive Behind the Madness?
Is all the NARAL slime really intended merely to deter President Bush from appointing an outspoken conservative when the next Supreme Court vacancy arises? Bob Novak thinks so.
That's probably one of the reasons behind the sleaze campaign. Another is that NARAL has a constituency to please and money to spend (and money that must be raised) -- and picking a fight against the Roberts nomination is a way for it to validate its existence in all three spheres.
Finally, the left-wing moonbats have genuinely worked themselves into a mouth-foaming frenzy of hysterical certainty that confirmation of Judge Roberts will bring the world to an end in short order.

Carol - I really don't care what that traitor Novak has to say. I believe that the penalty for treason during wartime is still death, is it not?
Take off the tinfoil hat.
NARAL has always walked to its own beating of its drum. It's always been over the top in it's dramatics and hystrionics.
And, I think you are going way overboard in saying that many on the other side of the aisle are going hysterical...that the "world is going to end." That simply is not true.
I think that women these days have taken for granted what many women in history fought to give them. I believe that abortion will be made against the law and so will birth control pills, if Santorum and his ilk have their way. Wealthy women will still continue to go to other countries to have procudures done, while the poor are stuck and there will be a big backlash.
Once women realize that their options have all be trounced, they will fight to have women's right to choose put right back into place; poor women will fight to have the same freedoms as the wealthy.

No hysteria there; more like resigned fatalism.
I seriously doubt all 50 states would outlaw abortion even if Roe were overturned. (And on what grounds do you worry that Roe will be overturned?)
It would hardly be worth going elsewhere in the world... unless of course a woman wants to top off her European vacation with the most invasive possible surgery.
Isn't this all going according to Rove's master plan?
Knowing that the left was locked, loaded, and ready for an all out war over this SCOTUS vacancy, wasn't it brilliant to nominate someone so well-liked and demonstrably mainstream?
Now the public will see clearly through the smoke and mirrors the left has been hiding behind throughout their campaign of obstruction. Roberts will be confirmed and the public will be weary of the left's tactics.
Then, with the next vacancy, Bush can nominate an outspoken and demostrably conservative jusitce. The left's cries of "out of the mainstream" will be simply ignored as another cry of, "Wolf!" from an immature party that has made that claim way too many times already!
Don't ya just love Rove!
