        John Roberts sworn in to the Supreme Court.  Now Bush gets to
        nominate another ultra-conservative leave-it-to-beaver style nominee.
        Yay for us. -mrauser
        \- considering the number of Rs who voted for RBGINESBERG, i think
           it's hard to oppose the nomination of ROLBERTS CJ.
        \_ I have yet to see any concrete reasons for opposing the nomination
           of Roberts to the USSC. cf. Earl Warren who oversaw the japanese
           internment. (I'm assuming that you weren't opposed to the Warren
           ct).
           \- earl warren was also a stripper.
              \_ huh?
                 \- You're so naive.
                    \_ Mr. Beeblebrox, sir, you're so weird you should be in
                       movies.
        \_ I saw nothing wrong with the guy. He is decent, conservative and
           obviously brilliant. He is about the best you can hope for
           in a Republican. -ausman

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
        administration on torture?  If we do it, it's legal, and since
        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
        \_ Bush is a great computer scientist.

Roberts era begins on Supreme Court By Kathy Kiely and Joan Biskupic, USA TODAY WASHINGTON John Roberts, a well-regarded legal insider who has said his passion for the law transcends his personal ideology, was sworn in Thur sday as the nation's 17th chief justice and the youngest in 204 years. Charles Dharapak, AP Roberts, 50, took his oath at the White House hours after being confirmed by the Senate 78-22. He succeeds the late William Rehnquist, for whom h e once clerked. Roberts sworn in) Half of the Senate's 44 Democrats and Sen. Jim Jeffords, an independent, joined all 55 Senate Republicans to back Roberts. The new chief justice called the vote "confirmation of what is for me a bedrock principle, tha t judging is different from politics." President Bush praised Roberts' "integrity, deep humility and uncommon ta lent" and his "reverence for the Constitution." Roberts is the first of at least two appointments Bush will make to the c ourt. The president has said he will nominate a successor to retiring Ju stice Sandra Day O'Connor soon. The president has hinted he wo uld like to appoint the court's first Hispanic. In a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallu p Poll taken this week, 40% said they would like to see the next Supreme Court justice be a woman or minority. Roberts' youth could extend Bush's legacy far beyond the president's Whit e House years. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, noted, justices often surprise presidents who appoint them. During his confirmation hearings, Roberts avoided giving specifics about his views on abortion and other controversial issues, arguing that it wa sn't appropriate to comment on matters that might come before the high c ourt. Confirmation of the first new justice in 11 years was marked by an unusua lly formal roll call with all senators at their desks to vote. The solemnity was broken at the White House, when Bush acknowledged the p resence of Roberts' son, Jack, "a fella who is comfortable with the came ras." Bush clearly had not forgotten the 4-year-old's lively antics when the president introduced his Supreme Court nominee in July. Roberts jokingly thanked senators for helping tackle "the very serious ch allenge" of his confirmation hearings: "We found a way to get Jack into the committee room ... On Monday, Roberts will preside as the Supreme Court begins a new term.
