Roberts wasn't initially nominated for Chief Justice. He was nominated to replace O'Connor. When Rehnquist died, Bush pulled Roberts' nomination and renominated him for the Chief Justice. Then Bush nominated Miers to replace O'Connor.
Maybe Bush should have kept Roberts as O'Connor's replacement, then Miers or someone else would be the Chief Justice now?

I hope more freepers comes to the realization that Scotus couldn't have p!ssed on the states as it has these past eighty years without the protection of the 17th Amendment.
We can thank the 17th for every judicial outrage since the New Deal.
