Chief Justice Roberts?

Okay, if i were really cynical, I would say that Team Bush is just a tad bit happy that they can squeeze this under the radar during the katrina stuff, no?

Does this nomination make sense? I mean, he is clearly qualified. He was also clearly going to get nominated pretty easily, which is brilliant on the part of the Republicans, because for the Democrats to oppose him now would look like a contradiction, and every GOP goon would bring some flip flops or something to the hearings.

But shouldn't someone be raised up internally maybe? It certainly is the president's perogative to maintain a conservative leadership on the Court, but Roberts?

Does Gonzales get the nod now too, or will the Christian-Right nut jobs continue to oppose that....?
