Its a guy!
:D

What a novel and unique concept, choosing someone who is extremely qualified instead of choosing someone based on race or gender.
I like it. I hope it starts a new trend.

You'll have to wait until the democrat-dirty-laundry-service attendant has time to compile his blueprints for press disaster.
"The president has chosen someone with suitable legal credentials, but that is not the end of our inquiry," said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Referring to planned hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Reid said, "I will not prejudge this nomination. I look forward to learning more about Judge Roberts."

It's not so bad that they want to know about a canidate but when they want to know things they have no business knowing then procede to discuss taboo FBI files in a public forum when we all know they don't want to give an up or down vote on them becaue they'd lose....

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.

The press over here sais he claims that he is a moderate conservative, but the democrats suspect that he is more conservative than he sais.
He is _supposedly_ very conservative when it come to abortion, freedom of speach and religion...

I may as well rule #4 or #5 myself right now. that will save the mod squad some work.

the left would be whining if Bush had selected ted the drunk kennedy just because Bush is Bush
does the left have an agenda these days other than going 180 from EVERYTHING this admin says or does?
I guess the last 3 elections hasn't taught those losers anything...
Roberts is right of center but not that far from center at all ... Bush could have gone more right for my taste .. the left would have cried just the same...
ps
Roberts will get it so whatever dog & pony show the left pulls out of its arse, will be nothing but a waste of time & our tax dollars...

Honestly, this is all they need to look at. So what if abortion goes back to being a state's rights thing. If the guy is qualified to be a judge on the Supreme Court, and the President nominates him... confirm him.

I am just disappointed we didn't get to see his son's victory dance on TV. :D

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.

Yep, on Good Morning Americia. :)

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?

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.

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.
