Quoted: probably wrong forum but I really think it bites that Bush didn't nominate Scalia. It would piss me off to know end to be over looked for the seemingly "politically correct new guy."

Because there is no way Scalia or Thomas would get confirmed as Chief. It would be an excuse
for the Democraps and the RINOS to get on TV for another 5 minutes. Scalia and Thomas
both know this, they have been through these hearings before, and I bet you couldn't
DRAG either of them back through that ordeal again, for any reason.
Bush is playing it as best he can, moving Roberts, who was going to be confirmed easily enough
anyway, to Chief. He then has the chance, if he is man enough to do it, of putting a really
harder core conservative in O'Connors seat later. Will be interesting to see.
I'm just curious to see if Roberts will keep those stupid assed gold stripes on the robe.....
