Not so sure about that. They just said it's rare to promote from within; only been done 3 times in the past.

Heck, this should make the left happy!/sarc

Now Bush has the chance to have a other woman take "O'Connors place.

That's the part I don't get either.

Scalia has been our friend in the court for a long time....

..Do you suppose Scalia doesn't want the position?....nah, that wouldn't be it.

So I don't know how Roberts can go to the head of the line.

Nothing against Roberts...but I really like Scalia.

There was a chart I saw yestrday, that showed that 11 of 16 Chief Justices were picked from outside the existing Justices.

Surprised me, that's why I remembered it.

The CJ is very rarely chosen from within. I believe that Rehnquist was only the fourth.

There will be no 'heat' for not promoting from within.

Do you reckon he's going to lose the support of the Judge's Union?

That was my thought. I would have loved to see him nominate Clarence Thomas for Chief...

spectre, unfortunately, Bush gets heat for what he eats for breakfast, how he ties his tie, what brand of shaving cream he uses, what color shoes he wears on a certain day, how he combs his hair......I could go on, but you get the point.
