Bush Nominates John Roberts to Succeed Rehnquist
Wasting little time, President Bush nominated John Roberts to replace Justice Rehnquist as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Bush nominated John G. Roberts to the Court of Appeals for the District of Colombia in 2003, a court long known as a grooming area for future Supreme Court nominations.
Bush initially nominated Roberts to fill the void left by Justice O'Conner's resignation. However Roberts seems to be a natural choice to the Chief's chair, as Roberts served as Rehnquist's law clerk from 1979 to 1980, and as has remained elusive to those trying to pin down his level of conservatism.
