Well its official. The pundits were wrong again. The President has nominated Judge John G. Roberts, currently an Appeals Court Judge for the District of Columbia since 2003, to be the next Associate Justice to the United States Supreme Court. Judge Roberts was also appointed by former President George H.W. Bush to be a Circuit Judge in the District of Columbia in 1992. He is considered a rock-solid conservative. I never bought into the notion that the nominee is supposed to bring the country together. The Supreme Court by definition has to make decisions that are legally sound not a popularity contest. Its the only branch of government that is supposted to be non-partisan.
