Roberts This Close to Confirmation
In a move designed to surprise no one, Roberts was unanimously, minus 5 votes, approved as a nominee by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The move marks the first time in the past month that a nominee was approved by the committee of braggarts.
However, the nomination isn’t without its upcoming troubles. Many senators are worried about Roberts views, and the possibility that he could swing the court in a conservative direction. “I’ve got to admit I’m worried about Roberts views. He could swing the court in a conservative direction,” said tourist John Hill, Democrat IL.
Many are also worried about his age. Jake Jones, nobody, said, “Mr. Roberts is on the verge of old age. Is it really appropriate to nominate someone who could potentially die in the next 30 years or so? I don’t think so. Its just plain idiotic.” Idiotic indeed. The last man to sit in the chair of chief justice perished after a mere 33 years on the bench. But, lessons like this are short lived amongst many administrations as they attempt to push their agenda on the court and the rest of the country.
The real question is, what can Roberts do about these hurricanes from the bench? Will he have enough time to consider their constitutionality? And how about Iraq, will he be a strong enough leader? And what kind of agenda does he really have? If he is finally confirmed, and many predict he will be, we will see in the next several years who Roberts truly is.
