John G. Roberts may not be the worst possible nomineee Bush could put forward for the Supreme Court. But he’s living in their neighborhood. The Democrats called him a “Friend to Big Business, the Mining Industry and Ken Starr.” The Family Research Council like him. He’s argued for prayer at public school graduations, against the Endangered Species Act, and given lots of money to Bush’s campaigns (his law firm has given over $92K in the 2006 cycle alone). I’m with Bicyclemark on this. Can you buy a seat on the Supreme Court? What a country!
Maybe not the worst possible nominee, but…

I don’t know – do you think it is fair that he displace Bolton from prize place as the most inappropriate person for a particular position? I remember how gobsmacked I was when I heard that Bolton, who is on public record as
wanting to get rid of the UN, was to be appointed as the US representative to that august body. (btw – did that particular appointment eventually go through?)
Thats’s right, W– not only is he not the worst possible nominee for SCOTUS, he’s not the worst possible candidate for anything.
Wrick… the result was a fillabuster.. and so now Bush may appoint him when congress isnt in session. Which is rediculous but has often been done by presidents.
