« Sloppy media portrait, part ∞ | Main | From "Hey Buuuuuddy!" to Reality Winner? » July 19, 2005Not Clement?ABC News is reporting that Edith Clement is not Bush's choice to replace O'Connor: Judge Edith Clement - perceived by many observers as a potential frontrunner for the Supreme Court seat vacated by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor - is not President Bush's choice for the high court. Curiouser and curiouser. And only 3 hours to go till we find out for sure. Man, I am such a geek. Posted by at July 19, 2005 06:01 PM CommentsYou think you're a geek. I'm supposed to be studying for the bar exam but am having a slight bit of trouble doing it with this going on. Tomorrow it will be over. Posted by: Jonathan Bunch at July 19, 2005 06:08 PM | permalink Posted by: Balta at July 19, 2005 07:49 PM | permalink John G Roberts, not C Roberts. Here's a blurb on him from MSNBC. "Roberts had been in line to join the appeals court in 1992, but his nomination during the first Bush administration died in a Democratic-controlled Senate. He has generally avoided weighing in on disputed social issues. Abortion rights groups, however, have maintained that he tried during his days as a lawyer in the first Bush administration to overturn Roe v. Wade." Posted by: Balta at July 19, 2005 07:56 PM | permalink "Roberts grew up in Long Beach, Ind., and attended a private school in nearby LaPorte before going on to Harvard and Harvard Law School." Posted by: Balta at July 19, 2005 08:23 PM | permalink He is 50 years old and has just over 2 years of judicial experience, having been appointed to the D.C. 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, I guess. Lots of decent credentials but not a lot of published opinions. He can blow off his briefs as being written for the client and not being reflective, necessarily, of his own personal opinions. Posted by: Doug at July 19, 2005 09:00 PM | permalink Anyone know what private high school Roberts attended in LaPorte??? If it couldn't be Luttig, with his W&L connections, I'll take Roberts and his Indiana connections. NB: Roberts is a Federalist Society member. The FS's sudden, shocking, extremely dangerous influence continues to be felt. Posted by: Adam Packer at July 19, 2005 10:33 PM | permalink Post a comment |
