Tom Humber, CFIF's Founder, has penned an hilarious piece of satire titled "John Roberts and the Third Amendment: Another Liberal Nightmare." It takes a hard look at the liberals' next line of attack against Judge Roberts.

Among other things, I think the piece demands further comments from distinguished Professors Volokh and Yoo. Come on, professors ... don't be shy...

Here's an excerpt:

A small but equally astute group of liberal activists has begun to surreptitiously e-mail liberal members of the Senate Judiciary Committee warning that Roberts’ renowned powers of persuasion could sway highly suggestible liberal justices on an issue never before heard by the Supreme Court. Several memos have urged that weaker members of the Judiciary Committee not make eye contact with Roberts during the hearings, lest they become mesmerized by his Sphinx-like gaze.

A judicial nominee with no record (or even a demo tape) on an issue without Supreme Court precedent is considered by numerous liberal thought leaders to be a conservative smart bomb that could have devastating fallout on decades of liberal court rulings.

Thanks to Mike Krempasky for noticing.
