Supreme Court
Ten Questions For John Roberts. I think that Bush pushing Robert for Chief Justice makes it much more likely that he will not be confirmed.
I'm glad to see there are 2 openings on the court though, because I think it allows a compromise to take place - 1 guy Bush really wants, and 1 guy thats acceptable to both sides. However, since they are going to be taken one at a time by Congress, we really need another name to make this work, that compromise is less likely to happen.
Will the Dems say OK to Roberts on the hope that candidate #2 is more to their liking - doubtful. More likely is that Roberts gets bottled up until #2 is named.
Its not out of the realm of possibility that we could go this whole term (and perhaps another if a Dem wins) without a full Court.
