I would really like to believe the White House's spin that the president won't have to carefully choose his replacement for Justice Stevens because it's not like the GOP is going to support him any way. The truth is, the White House is carefully considering their pick exactly because they are gauging right wing reaction.
I think Chief Justice Roberts is one of the most solid SCOTUS picks in a hundred years, and maybe the lone shining moment of the Bush administration. But even if Obama picked Roberts now, the GOP would still oppose it simply because Republicans view the president as an illegitimate enemy of the country that must be opposed at all costs. There is no "basic sanity." It is what it is.
