    “Let’s get ready to rumble!”

    By Jeremy | July 19, 2005

    Question:


    What is, "Let's get ready to rumble!"?
    Answer: ___ (a) Trademarked catchphrase of famed boxing announcer Michael Buffer ___ (b) Cliche bravado at high school sporting events ___ (c) Echo reverberating throughout the hallways of the Senate Judiciary Committee tonight _X _ (d) All of the above, because:

    President Bush on Tuesday selected U.S. Circuit Judge John Roberts Jr. as his nominee to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court.

    Pro-abortion groups like NARAL have already launched what they are calling, "The Battle for the Supreme Court," designed, they say, to "save the Supreme Court from President Bush." Such rhetoric resonates decisively with that of Judicial Committee members such as NY's own Senator Charles Schumer, who just last week declared "war" on any nominees that have a conservative pedigree.

    I know far too little about Judge Roberts at this point to have an opinion on his nomination. A vigorously debated confirmation hearing in the Senate will help people like me fashion an informed judgment in due course. But ideological pandering and partisan "warfare" will serve no one well.
