***.......The selection of the Harvard-educated white man in place of O'Connor, the first woman on the nation's highest court, could open Bush to criticism that he did not do enough for diversity...........***

LIBERALS don't care about a justice that is a women, a black, a hispanic, etc. they only want progressives/LIBERALS on "their" court.

re: "Harvard-educated"

Not enough for diversity? But Harvard is one of the most liberal places in the country. That's the "diversity" part of the equation - Harvard. It's a split ticket.

Dancing in front of Bush is Roberts' son John. Also pictured are Roberts' wife Jane and daughter Josephine.

Anybody who thinks this is going to be a big political battle, just think USC-Oklahoma in last year's Orange Bowl. Click the link to see which side is USC.

Nice ankles on the wife..... not to be a male chauvinist pig.

Roberts is a more than beautiful pick by G.W.

This is going to be fun watching Schmuckie, Leahy, Chappaquiddick Fats, and others make themselves look like eternal fools trying to trash this good man! This is a beautiful morning!

Mom doing the "hush" thing.


US President George W. Bush (C) announces Federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. (L) as his first Supreme Court nominee during a prime-time speech at the White House in Washington, as Roberts' wife Jane (2nd R), duaghter Josephine (R) and son John look on. Bush nominated the conservative Roberts to the US Supreme Court, a move that may shape battles on controversial issues like abortion for decades. Roberts, 50, has been a judge in the federal court of appeals in Washington since 2003 and is considered a conservative Republican.(AFP/Jim Watson)

At first I wondered why President Bush didn't wait until late August to announce his nominee. Conventional wisdom says that would limit the opportunity of the media and the dems to damage him by dredging up negative "facts" from his past.

But this evening, watching TV, it became obvious even to me that by announcing Judge Roberts now President Bush is giving the libs six whole weeks to make complete fools of themselves in the eyes of every American outside the beltway as they spin themselves into the ground.

It's going to be a fun summer.

 BUSH PICKS John G. Roberts

 What They're Saying: Judge John G. Roberts (Parts I, II, and III)

 Here's a little sampler of left wing moonbat reaction to Roberts nomination -- I am laughing so hard, I have tears. I almost shut down to go home, and then I saw this. Thank you for the hilarious post.

The selection of the Harvard-educated white man in place of O'Connor, the first woman on the nation's highest court, could open Bush to criticism that he did not do enough for diversity.

From the people who would have criticized him either way.

I know.

The Court is slipping from their grasp and they're going to pull out all stops to trash this man.

No wonder so few good people serve in government.

Bush may have the opportunity to select another SC Justice before the summer is over.
