JOHN ROBERTS's Senate confirmation hearings are set to begin on September 6. They could be a useful opportunity for exploration of the character and qualifications of President Bush's first nominee to the Supreme Court; more likely they will be a grandstanding political ping-pong match with Roberts serving as the ball. When the Washington Post reported recently that Roberts's confirmation was all but assured, liberal Vermont senator Patrick Leahy stepped in within hours to douse any talk of inevitability; he characterized Roberts as an "eager and aggressive advocate" for the extreme Right.
