Bush Nominates Roberts As Chief Justice

Chief justice should be someone with much experience in the field, and someone a little bit older and wiser. Roberts is a very young man to have a CJ, he could be there 30 years or more without issue. There are others on that bench now that would do just as good a job, and many other judges who have worked the federal circuits with many years of experience for the job. Roberts is a very new judge, and to suddenly make him CJ is a truly major mistake.

When I see Bush do things like this, I am reminded that this boy never learned how to be subtle about anything. Political payback shouldn't be so blatant and so "in front of everyone's eyes".

I suspect that americans that elected the boy are pretty much ashamed now.

You may suspect that most Americans would be ashamed we started a war only to find out that no ties existed to WMD or terrorism yet most Americans still support it.

They're not ashamed at all and nothing will ever make them feel that.

I agree this looks like Bush politicking at its least subtle, but does it make any practical difference? After all the CJ's vote in court doesn't count any more than the other judges'.
