Today, with the president who appointed him in attendance, the 17th chief justice of the United States will robe and take his high seat as the first among nine equals. John G. Roberts Jr. is expected to preserve the whimsical stripes on his robe introduced by his mentor, the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist. He will honor traditions new and old. But yesterday, he and President Bush, along with other justices, judges and dignitaries, participated in a tradition older still.

I was wondering about that, believe it or not.

BTW, Fox just announced that the President will announce his next selection in about an hour.

I hope it is Brown!

Always vote Republicans for the Presidency, as the impact of a liberal like Clinton, and the bozos he appointed to the courts, can be felt for years.
