Bush nominates Roberts for Chief Justice
Showing my usual lack of prognostication ability with regard to Supreme Court appointments, President Bush this morning nominated the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist's former clerk John Roberts to replace Mr. Rehnquist as the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Inasmuch as the nomination of Judge Roberts for Chief Justice requires another nomination by the President, the confirmation hearing on the prior nomination of Judge Roberts -- which was supposed to commence tomorrow -- will be delayed for a couple of weeks.
