Roberts Not Qualified ... for Chief

When the President announced his nomination of John Roberts to be an associate justice on the United States Supreme Court last July, I decided to take a "wait and see" approach before blogging about whether or not he should be confirmed. Roberts has only been a judge for a short time, but (for a conservative) had a decent resume for the ASSOCIATE position. I was going to make my call after the Senate hearings next week, after (if) he answered a few questions.

But the call on whether or not he should be confirmed as the CHIEF Justice is easy.

John Roberts is nowhere near qualified for the top job. Not by a long shot. And the Senate should reject the nomination promptly.
