How do you feel about Bush nominating Roberts for chief justice and being given the opportunity to fill another seat?

 

I like that he is given 2 spots to fill, but I can't make any opinons on Roberts because I don't know who he is or have any info on him. I'll have to read up on him.

 

I'm too sick to my stomach to even consider this. At least he didnt go with Clarence Thomas (who is Bush's favorite SC judge... and that is saying something)

 

Well, looks like Roberts may have to jump through a few more hoops to get to the top seat.

Is this move unprecedented in the history of the SC? An unseated SC judge getting promoted to their highest spot?

 

Hahaha. That alone makes my day!

 

No its happened before, I think something like 6 of the former CJ's were SC noobies

 

good to know. Roberts actually seems like a decent enough pick all things considered.

 

Yeah, he really isn't that bad. I think the media and dems are tackling him hard because they can.

 

He is not as bad as say, Gonzales (sp?) but he still isn't great. Probably the best we can get with this administration, as he is smart and isn't too radical. I still can't stand that we will have another, MORE conservative, pro life, anti-gay rights (I dont know this for sure, but i'm assuming since dubya nominated him), ect. person in the supreme court. As Dub2w said, it makes me feel a bit sick.
