Help with Interpretation ?? ROLCAM 09/21/05
    "I'm not too sure if his heart is as big as his head."
    HARRY REID the Senate Democratic leader, on Judge John G. Roberts Jr.

    I need some help with interpreting this quotation:-

    What does the Senator mean ?

    1) Has John G. Roberts a big head ?
    2) Has John G. Roberts a little heart?
    3) Is Harry Reid being complimentary ?
    4) Is Harry Reid being disrespectful ?
    5) What is Harry Reid's status ?
    6) Why is Harry Reid so important in the scheme of things?

      Clarification/Follow-up by Itsdb on 09/21/05 2:06 pm:
      tom,

      Kerry has announced today that he will vote against Roberts. See if this sounds familiar...

      "I will vote against this vitally important nomination.

      Win or lose on this vote, it is essential that we act on our deepest convictions. And I refuse to vote for a Supreme Court nominee who came before the Senate intent on demonstrating his ability to deftly deflect legitimate questions about his views, opinions and philosophy.

      John Roberts owed the American people far more than that.

      If he is confirmed - and he may well be - the Roberts Court will shape the course of constitutional law for decades to come. It will decide dozens of cases that will define the depth and breadth of freedom in America - our commitment to civil rights, our dedication to civil liberties, our devotion to privacy and a woman's right to choose.

      With that much at stake, Judge Roberts needed to show us where his heart is..."

      Puhleeeaaase...
