It's John G. Roberts

It'll be a middle aged white male Republican. Go figure.

CNN and NBC are reporting that President Bush will nominate U.S. Court of Appeals judge John G. Roberts to the United States Supreme Court. More on him here (scroll down). Initial talking-head reaction is along the lines of "well, he's ok for a conservative."

Only a judge for 20 months, but high ratings from the American Bar Association and Clinton White House counsel Lloyd Cutler says Bush has made a decent choice.

We'll see.
