Vote to occur at 11:30 Eastern Time today. Confirmation is expected.
Does it bother you that he uses notes to give an historic speech?
Isn't that a little different from being asked questions where prepared notes might make you look less than honest?
Speech done now, and we get an extended Skinnerville over on Fox.
The dims must be having a fit, look how young he is!! He'll be around for a loooong time.
Yeah. Understandable tho.
I hope and pray that he does well by the Constitution.
Good lord, it was an observation. Bad conclusion on YOUR PART.
From earlier today, my post#50 really applies now! In response to 'I hope Justice Thomas administers the oath rather than Stevens':

Congrats Chief Justice Roberts!
I think we all are....except maybe Ann Coulter...wasn't she against him????
I love how Roberts through in the word "prayer" a few times in the end.
I also thought it funny that he mentioned JP Stevens was into his 30th year on the court. I immediately thought that we'll have another seat real soon. lol
I didn't reach a conclusion, I asked a question. Since I'm not you, I don't know why you found that troubling. Sorry for any misunderstanding, it wasn't my intent.
Never heard of her, I got Pricilla Owen.
I just love Robert's son!
Btw, I find it VERY interesting that you claim that notes may may look someone less than honest. Hasn't EVERYONE in the modern era used notes BUT John Roberts during the hearings.
Coulter was changing her tune in the last day or so.
Thanks for posting the voting results, hadn't seen it broken down like that yet. I think Reid might have shot himself in the foot in a state like Nevada.

I feel sorry for the next person nominated...if for no other reason than trying to follow the ease at which Roberts handled the hearings and the Dems snarky questions and comments...
I think that if you refer to notes when asked a question about your thoughts or opinions, it looks bad. When you are referring to a document under discussion it is a different story. At least that is the way every deposition I have ever participated in was handled.
