First Monday Finds a New Chief Justice

First Monday finds a New Chief Justice

Well, John Roberts was confirmed and… that leaves us two more to go to solidify the conservative hold on the Supreme Court.

The next nominee is in for a serious storm of Liberal attacks from every direction of the compass.

The word on the net is the President will not make known his choice for the open seat until at least Monday. The reason, I suspect, is to avoid the anal examinations by the press, over the weekend, including the network “talking head” shows on Sunday. That shows savvy, about the press, anyway.

The problem we Conservatives have is fighting the Democrat Party and the Press simultaneously. We go into battle, every time, outnumbered. But, as the Green Berets say, when you find yourself surrounded, it presents an opportunity for you to attack in any direction.

I have been looking literarily, at lists of names the President is said to be considering for the open seat on the Court. All on the list(s) are conservative save for the possibility of the Attorney General Gonzales. He is flat out unacceptable by the conservative wing of the Republican Party. So, if the President really wants a shot at getting his nominee thru the Senate Judicial Committee, he will not choose Gonzales. If he does, anyway, the Republicans on the committee, will join with the Democrats and he will never get approval from the committee, and we’ll have to start over.

The Supreme Court convenes the first Monday in October. That is upon us. Roberts will make his debut as a shiny new Supreme Court Justice and… the first among equals, the Chief Justice.

The only question I have is… will he keep the three golden hash marks Rehnquist had placed on the his Chief Justice robe? I kind of like ‘em. I hope he keeps them.
