John Roberts--Too Good?
Micky Kause at the always good Kausefiles, the only thing worth reading regularly at Slate, says the President blew it by wasting the too good John Roberts on the conservative replacement for departed Chief Justice Rehnquist, rather than using him to sail through, replacing retiring Justice O'Connor. Does Mr. Kause know something about the next nominee we don't? Here's my response.
What do you call the person (we'll use the name Mr. or Ms. X) who only gets 50 votes in the Senate for confirmation to the Supreme Court, so he or she has to suffer the humiliation of having the Vice-President cast the deciding vote?
You would call that person Justice X.
