Just read on MSNBC.com that Vermont Senator Pat Leahy intends to vote "yes" for SCOTUS nominee John Roberts.
I point to my new favorite blog for backup:
"The Moose knew of Judges Bork, Thomas and Scalia, although he was not their friend. And John Roberts is no Bork, Thomas or Scalia. Roberts has shown that he is no originalist extremist. He is apparently respectful of precedent. He has a modestly expansionist view of the commerce clause - he does not view the welfare state as unconstitutional. And he acknowledges a right to privacy. In sum, Roberts is a conventional conservative not a right wing revolutionary jurist"

the key phrase for me is "Roberts has shown that he is no originalist extremist" - that's good enough for me. We don't need another Scalia.
