John Roberts

The reality that the Democrats have to face and accept is that whether they like it or not a Republican president is going to appoint 2 Supreme Court judges. John Roberts appears to be a nominee that could appeal to both parties. Sure the Dems are doing their duty by trying to find out what kind of a Chief Justice he will make, but if they use the occasion for political posturing they will come out the losers. If one can judge from Roberts's opening remarks and later responses he was a good choice. Unlike Bolton, they could do a lot worse.
