Okay, THIS Is Insane.
Sep. 5th, 2005 03:26 pmBush picks Roberts to replace Rehnquist (no registration to read)
Even if you agree with the nomination for the guy for Supreme Court at all...he's only had about 2 years experinece as a judge...NO WAY should he be Chief Justice!
I'm really confused by this paragraph...
"The selection of Roberts, who has drawn little criticism, helps Bush avoid new political problems when he already is under fire for the government’s sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina and his approval ratings in the polls are at the lowest point of his presidency."
Little criticism? Whatever happened to that whole threat to filibuster? (Which they're allowed to do, as long as they don't do it.)
Okay people...start writing some letters, emails, faxes, make phone calls to your congress people...I'm not even talking about my thoughts on the guy's politics here. (I'm far too ired by this to write rationaly abut that) I'm talking about sheer JOB EXPERIENCE for the highest judicial seat in our country!
I am glad that O'Connor is staying until she's replaced.
And here's a little blurb on Mister Roberts from Wikipedia...
"John Glover Roberts, Jr. (born January 27, 1955) is an American attorney and jurist. Since 2003 he has been a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Roberts previously spent fourteen years in private law practice and held positions in Republican Administrations in the U.S. Department of Justice and Office of the White House Counsel."
Two years kids...think about that.
