For all we know, perhaps Rehnquist suggested Roberts to Bush personally.

Sometimes I wonder why some important positions like this have to be so political. Why can't people just look out for whats good for the country instead of their own little slice of the pie? I hope roberts goes through as smoothly as Ginsberg.

I hope Dershowitz has to try a case before Roberts.

[AmishDude]

No, it would have been most poetic to have Rehnquist swear in Roberts. Some things were not meant to be, I suppose.

[spinestein]

Now that Roberts is being nominated as "Chief Justice to the Supreme Court" instead of plain old "Supreme Court Justice", the Democrats in the Senate will need lots more time to "reconsider" the nomination because this CHANGES EVERYTHING.

But they'll put that on hold because now they need to get on with the REALLY important business of the Senate, like holding hearings on why George Bush used hurricane Katrina to murder African-Americans living in New Orleans while helping his oil buddies price gouge at the gasoline pump.







(I pity the fool who needs the sarcasm tag.)

Obviously Ann Coulter never talked with the Chief about John G Roberts, Jr.

I like this quote from Jonathan Turley who obviously hates John G. Roberts.

No, the court is not likely to change John Roberts, but Roberts will almost certainly change the court.
