Chief Justice Roberts. Chief Justice Roberts. Chief Justice Roberts.

Everytime I read it, I think of Dread Pirate Roberts.

There's an official judicial oath Monday at the Supreme Court, then he gets his snazzy robe. :-)

If indeed Rhenquist was involved in making Roberts chief then he also knew how controversial Chief Justice Scalia would have been.

Today is a good day...REJOICE : )))

Stevens swears him in

That makes sense since Stevens is the Senior tenure SCOTUS Justice, even though he is a raging liberal.

Just trying to deflect the knee jerk reaction and those of a certain tin foil crowd who will find a conspiracy in that and post ad nauseum.(Stevens swearing in Roberts)

They have to keep snapping until they get a 'bad' face made by Bush.

There is absolutely NO reason to believe he is anything similar to Souter, let alone a Souter clone.

Except for that pro-bono homo thing that has never been given a satisfactory answer.

No. I have not looked through all the replies...:-) No time. Okay. How long before we know the next pick? Looks like a war brewing no matter who it is.

I'm still trying to figure out why Karl Rove wanted them started in the first place

Well Duh! Because Bush hates rich white people.

The fires are a diversion from the Delay indictment. Didn't you get the memo?

I thought it was great that he mentioned the word "prayer" a few times. A few heads at DU probably exploded.

I also thought it funny that he mentioned JP Stevens was into his 30th year on the Supreme Court. My devious mind immediately thought we'll have another seat real soon.

He was nervous. Never heard him misspeak before. He referred to the Capitol as the home of the Executive branch. Must be flying high. It has to be quite a rush to become one of such a small fraternity - 17th CJUS.

Rehnquist will be enjoying it from his ringside seat in Heaven.
