Chief Justice

Well it finally happened. John Glover Roberts Jr. was voted in as the 17th Chief Justice. Votes were 78-22, Republicans were 55 and Democrates and independent 44. I'm not quite sure I like Roberts. It doesn't bother me that's he's a republican, but he's a conservative which can effect old cases that are still being appealed, for example Roe vs. Wade. I'm concerned that the future decisions he makes will hinder many women's lives.

I hope the senate, when its come to finding a replacemnet for O'Connor, that they'll vote someone who's a democrate or at least a liberal. I think that will even out the Supreme Court, making it more balanced.
