President Bush announced today that he was nominating Judge John Roberts to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. I predicted he would do so two weeks ago.
The right wing is beside itself with its throes of self-congratulation. Again as I predicted, the left wing is reflexively opposing him. I'll go the next step now and predict that the Senate will confirm Roberts by a healthy margin, with at least 10 Democrats voting to confirm him before the first Monday in October. This, however, will not happen until after an unnecessarily lengthy hearing before the judiciary committee has taken place.
