Ct. of Appeals in June 2003. He's worked for Rehnquist, and the Reagan and Bush I Departments of Justice. Lots of experience practicing before the US Supreme Court. A good choice politically, I guess. Lots of decent credentials but not a lot of published opinions. He can blow off the positions taken in his briefs as being written for the client and not being reflective, necessarily, of his own personal opinions. <li> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Roberts_Jr." rel="nofollow"> Wikipedia</a> write up. <li><a href="http://www.judicialselection.org/nominees/roberts.htm" rel="nofollow"> Free Congress Foundation</a> write up.
