Conservatives want someone with a clear, written record. The Roberts hearing has been superb as a technical, tactical matter, but it's left some people in despair and just clamoring for someone with a written record. The left keeps asking, 'What does the right know that we don't know' Well the truth of the matter is, we don't know anything. We're all being asked to take a leap of faith.
