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!!!

Absolutely, YaYa. For those of us who wanted and worked for him to be President, this is a good day.

Thanking Justice Stevens for his almost-30 years and for administering the oath. Now thanking President Bush for the nomination and the team.

Chief Roberts saying how glad he was to get Jack in the Committee room and back out without anything untoward happening...LOL

I just love people with a good sense of humor...and maybe President Bush saw that in him also...

Did he mess up and call The Capitol the building of the Executive Branch?

Poor kid may be traumatized over this as he will never live it down. It was interesting to see that the baby who saved the Pope even turned away from that religion for awhile when she got older.

Jack is going to steal the show for awhile.
