This Makes Me Nervous

Bush has is already trying to nominate Roberts to Chief Justice in the wake of Rehnquists death.

Why would he do this? He doesn't even know how Roberts is going to behave on the bench. He should be promoting Clarence Thomas. Even if Bush just wanted to be a political opportunist he would nominate Thomas to be the first black Supreme Court Justice.

I don't believe that Roberts is cut from the same cloth as either Rehnquist or Thomas. I am nervous.
