So now that Rehnquist is dead...
How do you feel about Bush nominating Roberts for chief justice and being given the opportunity to fill another seat?

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?

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.

Pro life & anti gay...what bullcrap.
Are those the only things you ****ing idiots think should make or break a nominee?
What about job exportation?
Or gun rights?
Or loose borders?
God help us all if that's the case.
