President George W. Bush named federal appeals judge John G. Roberts Jr. to fill the first Supreme Court vacancy in a decade, delighting Republicans and unsettling Democrats by picking a young jurist of impeccably conservative credentials.
Already Judge Roberts is being set up for the Democratic okey doke, Statements like "he MUST answer all questions put before him" and the White house MUST release documents from when Judge Roberts was asst. whitehouse counsel.
The democrats will not be content with any nomination that is not some rubber kneed whimp, that will always side with thge left.
The only power the left has left is the supreme court and activist judges that make law as they go along.
Three members of the Judicial commitee have already voted Judge roberts down when he was nominated to the appelette court.
I am betting Odds he is filibustered, not because Roberts is not very qualified but because it's the only way the Democrats can make news anymore.
