Plus he smells like roses - I’ll throw a link back to Ryne who writes this about Roberts: “If I may use a baseball reference here, it looks like Roberts is something of a five-tool player: he's decent, he's made few enemies (that we know of yet), he's a great lawyer, he's been a great judge, and he conforms to what "conservatives" have in mind when it comes to what a Justice ought to be.” That first one goes a long way: by all accounts so far, both supporters and detractors attest that Roberts is a very likable fellow.
