John Roberts Selected As President Bush's New Boy On The SCOTUS

Tonight President Bush ended the last few weeks' pointless jawboning, speculation, and hot air by naming John G. Roberts Jr., 50, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Roberts seems to be one of President Bush's least controversial picks for the bench. He hasn't been a judge long enough to have accumulated much of a paper trail. That's a small consolation. It appeared for a time that he would name a woman to the bench. But when he got enough mileage out of that, or the trial balloon hit the ground, he decided to bring in one of the fellas.

And, hey, if you're going to bring in one of the fellas, bring in one that did some good stuff for Dad, and if he was your lawyer before the Supreme Court in the 2000 election contest, well, all the better. . .
