It is a historic moment for the US

[rodeodance]

as Roberts is now being swarn in as the SC justice.

i am not happy with this. but it will be history in a few moments.

[rodeodance]

1. For 5 years this was coming.

[fooj]

2. I can't even watch it.

:puke:

[AirmensMom]

3. Neither can I.

Had to turn it off.

:puke:

[rodeodance]

4. roberts has a red tie and bush has his basic blue

[rodeodance]

5. no now. speech time from Roberts.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

6. wtf! Stevens is swearing him in....

Surprised he doesn't have Scalia....

[rodeodance]

8. it is a done deed. ladies and gents we have a new chief justice.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

13. Scalia is the only one not there - is he pouting???

n/t

[rodeodance]

19. i heard rumors that he wanted to be the Supreme. maybe he is pouting.

[KatmanSD]

7. JP Stevens WHY !?!?

Why did JPS do the swearing in? Bastard!

[rodeodance]

9. prob. honor his anniversary of 30 years on the court.

[rodeodance]

10. he will start tomorrow.

[rodeodance]

14. he is not a very dynamic speeker.

[tx_dem41]

16. Probably because he was interim Chief Justice the last few weeks...

I don't see a problem with it.

[KatmanSD]

24. Stick it up his ass

JPS should have told bush to stick it up his ass

[tx_dem41]

25. Some people....especially an esteemed judge...have more class..

and tact. But by all means, throw another Democrat under the bus. That's what DU seems to be about, lately.

26. Hi KatmanSD!!

Wecome to DU!! :toast:

[Mutley]

11. Good for America!

We will all be so happy with our new Cheif Justice! I think I will go out and celebrate tonight! :sarcasm: <---- Multiply this by about 147.

[Blue Belle]

12. I refuse to watch it...

Another Bush Crony being elevated into an area of extreme power.. and the Senate blindly approving him because "Bush won and he should get the nominees he wants." This is increadibly reckless... the nominee didn't have to answer any questions under oath that he didn't want to, and the Administration refused to allow the any documentation released that may prove negative for the nominee. This isn't democracy folks. No good can come of this appointment.

[rodeodance]

15. mrs. roberts red dress blends in with Red Carpet.

[rodeodance]

17. all done foks. Wolf blitzer is now chatting!

[mtnester]

22. Did they have their dancing boy there?

Or was he far, far away?

[Blue Belle]

23. They probably have the dancing boy sitting out in the Limo...

dressed in another shorts suit and completely medicated. Musn't have him bustin' a move and like last time. :)

[tx_dem41]

18. Why exactly is this a "historic moment"? Other than the obvious that..

any new CJ swearing-in is historic.

[rodeodance]

20. exactly. He is only the 17th Chief Justice in the hx of our democracy.

[Double T]

21. American Justice has taken another Giant Step Backwards......

this is a sad day and a SCOTUS confirmation we will all live to regret
