Dems: "Well, how do we demonize Roberts?"

That's the challenge they'll be trying to tackle with DC appeals court Judge John Roberts as the president's nominee for the Supreme Court.

This make's them look at least a little bit disingenuous when they start tearing into him (if they do) : Judge Roberts was confirmed by the Senate for the Washington D.C. Circuit Court by unanimous consent by Democrats and Republicans alike as a qualified nominee.

From MSNBC: Democrats will demand “straight answers” from Roberts on the abortion issue, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will holding hearings on the nomination, said Wednesday.
“If he wants to be on the Supreme Court, he has to be more forthcoming .... to convince the American people that a man who could serve on the court for 20 to 30 years really is in the mainstream of American thinking,” he said.

Oh, really. It seems that they weren't so insistent for answers from Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she refused to answer about anything that might actually come before her on the court.

Where's the consistency?
