"Git er done," Chief Justice Roberts.
We've waited too long for decisions that he might now lead.

Underscoring the rarity of a chief justice's confirmation, senators answered the roll by standing one by one at their desks as their names were called, instead of voting and leaving the chamber.

Oooooh, they stood up. How awesome. < |:/~

overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate to lead the Supreme Court through turbulent social issues for generations to come.

Gosh, I didn't know that was covered in the Constitution!

The things you learn in newspapers.

Now on to step #2. I'm betting on an announcement at the end of the day tomorrow to beat the news cycle.

The media can then be flooded with media buys/bio's of the new nominee....preempts the left's rage.

As soon as Roberts is sworn in, President should announce the nomination of someone to the right of Justice Thomas.

Twenty-two Democrats opposed Roberts, saying he could turn out to be as conservative as justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court anchors on the right.

We can only hope that this and only this time the Democrats are right.

Well here goes...we should know by December (when they start issuing rulings) whether this guy is another Souter or Rehnquist.

If he's another Souter, that's the final straw for me.
