That is a poor argument, at best. If Bill Frist made the statement "I like the fact that techweenie is alive", would you kill yourself?
IIRC, Rehnquist had 0 months as a judge prior to his appointment.

So you thing the 'right to privacy' is not supported by the spirit of the constitution?
The Frist comment was a joke, based upon his opinion of Terry Schiavo's rehabilitation potential from remote diagnosis. His opinions are somewhat less impressive after that one.
I am well aware that SC candidates are not required to be jurists, but Bush touted Roberts using those terms, so he can be criticized in the same context.
