I like it. I hope it starts a new trend.

I don't think you read his post and thought about it, you just came up with this trash...

are you saying someone who is part of another gender or race is not equal or even better suited for the job...

question is, did they even look...

A compelling choice. The guy is obviously very smart, and he's got great legal chops. Probably just as important for the Bush administration is the fact that he's very young by Supreme Court nomination standards. He'll be around for quite some time.

although i am considered a hardcore leftie by many (farms and high taxes for all:aok ) i trust the supreme court to be unbiased. theirs is the most honest branch of government. i believe that this new fella's character should be examined to make sure he has no bias just to make sure. but from what i have heard he seems like a good fella.

Two years ago he passed the senate vote unanimously, I wonder how they (left) will explain a no vote now?

Maybe they could have couple shots with GWB and let police arrest them just for the giggles

Dunno about Kennedy but for GWB it wouldn't be the first time

Here's another pic of the victory dance. It looks like Mom is nearly in tears. I bet someone got a spanking when they got home.

More like "Did YOU even look" actually.

Roberts' nomination comes as a surprise after an all-day festival of speculation in Washington and on the cable news networks, where the race was handicapped in favor of 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Edith "Joy" Clement. Clement was seen as an uncontroversial, moderate jurist who would likely be passed through Congress without an enormous fight.

But as evening approached, Clement herself told a network news broadcast that she had not been selected. That led to speculation that Bush would go with a more conservative nominee, one who would please his ardent supporters.

Several names had been under consideration, including Edith Hollan Jones, who also serves on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans; Maura Corrigan, a judge on the Michigan Supreme Court; Cecilia M. Altonaga, a U.S. District Court judge for the Southern District of Florida; Mary Ann Glendon, a Harvard Law School professor; Karen Williams from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.; Janice Rogers Brown, recently confirmed by the Senate for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; and Priscilla Owen, who was just confirmed for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Other possible candidates were conservative federal appellate court judges Samuel Alito, J. Michael Luttig, Michael McConnell, Emilio Garza and J. Harvie Wilkinson III and former deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson.

No, actually I have to find out his decisions and track record. I like the fact he was Chief Clerk for Reinquist. He looks to be a Centrist from what I've seen. I'm actually surprised by Bush picking an apparently swing vote instead of a hardline conservative.

All I have ever said about the SCOTUS is it needs to be balanced.

From what I've heard/read, he's a pro-life "centrist".

I was praying for him to pick Corrigan so we could get her out of here.
