Dirty Tricks Planned Against Judge Roberts?
Supreme Court nominee Judge John Roberts will be targeted by an 11th-hour dirty-tricks campaign designed to derail his Senate confirmation, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol predicted on Sunday.
"I think the interest groups will go after him personally," Kristol told his fellow panelists on "Fox New Sunday." "It will be tougher and rougher than people now think."

Senate Democrats won't filibuster the Roberts nomination, he said.
But instead, "a week before the confirmation begins, there will be some dirty trick, some personal attack, [that] will appear in the New York Times," Kristol predicted.
The influential Republican said that ultimately, the dirty tricks campaign will fail, predicting that Roberts will be confirmed, with "35, maybe 36 votes" against him.
