And hoping that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has a massive stroke soon would be in very bad taste.

But I do it anyway.

His vote is important but his influence on another generation of lawyers and future judges is priceless.

PBS has been showing a documentary on the history of the Supreme Court this week. Roberts was one of the primary talking heads on the show, and man, he was simply awesome to listen to! A true scholar in every way and very engaging! I'm glad he is where he is.

Bush has made a lot of bad moves. Roberts and Alito are not one of them. When that old fart Stevens decides to leave, that will be our next fight.

When he discussed "activist courts" and all, it sounded like he was describing the Ninth District Court of Appeals. Talk about painting a broad picture with a little brush...those 9th guys are way out of whack with the Supremes, and get 75% of their rulings reversed.

"Judges should act like judges, not like statesmen,"

Your Honor, could you send a memo out to the 9 th Circuit Court of Appeals, and to the other liberal Judges? This is really something they need to hear!

I like him! And to think Bush almost gave us Harriett Myers instead of Roberts. THAT'S scary!
