In most cases, a candidate enjoys a honeymoon period after the nomination.

It reveals that he has pursued a very consistent agenda that favors government intrusion into our personal lives and sides with powerful interests over ordinary Americans.

By failing to allay the concerns his record raised prior to the hearings, Judge Roberts simply has not met the heavy burden of proving that he warrants a lifetime appointment to the most powerful judgeship in the country.
