Am I the only one who thought Roberts gave the Dems a very subtle dig in his comments?..I liked it..and BTW..how shallow of Reid NOT to come to the ceremony..

[Mikey_1962]

Actually his title is Chief Justice of the United States not the Supreme Court

[rhombus]

Rumor is tomorrow.

Late on Friday to avoid too much demogoguery by the Dems but to be ready for the Sunday talk shows?

[onyx]

Yep -- I think I'll celebrate with an ice cold root beer.

CHEERS!

[MediaMole]

The digital cameras used by photojournalists still have physical shutters and mirrors. They are going to make noise.

The noise on TV is probably enhanced by the position of the microphones.

[OESY]

Tee Time!

[tuckrdout]

I second that nomination!

Anybody of the vote list? Who voted against?

[KarlInOhio]

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

Was there any reason to believe that Souter would be a "Souter" when nominated? The dems were doing their usual "fight to the last bullet" routine on him too.

[steveegg]

Speaking of that, did you catch the instant commercial over on Fox asking the RATs to hold a fair up-or-down vote next time too? Nice touch.

[TheBigB]

Didn't you get the memo?

"Yeah, I'll get you another copy of that."

[pollyannaish]

Nope...only evil if they are rich REPUBLICAN houses. ; )

[JustaCowgirl]

Well Duh! Because Bush hates rich white people.

And I thought it was poor black people Bush hates! Or was that last week? ;-)

[A Citizen Reporter]

Well I wanted to see Jack. They kept talking about him but I couldn't see the little fellow.

Congratulations Chief Justice Roberts!

Yes, you have our hopes and prayers.

[tuckrdout]

It's ROE...

Roe V. Wade

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Did Souter swear him in with the special RINO handshake?

[rhombus]

Speaking of that, did you catch the instant commercial over on Fox asking the RATs to hold a fair up-or-down vote next time too?

The ones showing "Miss Grundy" Ginsberg declining to answer questions at her hearing were excellent.

[Cobra64]

So... did he overturn Rowe yet? If not, I'll... I'll never vote for W again! Dan

Some folks need to take a 6th grade social studies class. And then read the United States Constitution.

And I thought it was poor black people Bush hates! Or was that last week? ;-)

That was so last week :-)

[Palladin]

Gawd! Matthews is on now. He looks like he just swallowed a frog. He's not weraring a black armband...yet.

[SE Mom]

Reid is a small man. No stature or class.

I will sleep better tonight knowing Roberts is CJSCOTUS
