John Roberts has been confirmed by Senate and is now sworn in to take the
seat of Chief Justice. Only 22 Senators voted against Roberts, making him the
17th person to serve as Chief Justice to the Supreme Court.

Now there is talk that the second nominee to fill Sandra Day O’Connors seat
could come as early as this week. Sources close to the White House have revealed
that President Bush is down to under 10 potential nominees. If President Bush
goes with a hard line conservative, a Democrat filibuster will most likely
follow.
