I hope that Roberts remembers who it was that selected him, and stays with his convictions.

Tears in my eyes as Judge and Mrs. Roberts and the President walked the red carpet to the podium and the White House audience broke into long and heartfelt applause. Truly, truly, inspiring!!

Historic!!! and Bush was hilarious, wasn't he, welcoming the children! LOL....I really did LOL.

This is our reward too, folks. why so many of us wanted George Bush to be president in the first place....to fix the Supreme Court. It's a start...a wonderful, wonderful start!!!

Roberts looks overwhelmed emotionally.

President enjoyed making reference to Jack's routine in front of the cameras when his father was nominated. he'll never live that down no matter how mature he grows to be as an adult. LOL
