    Actually JunkYardBlog, he is not going to be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the official title is Chief Justice of the United States. But thanks for the trackback anyway.

    Roberts Glides In
    If you’ve been following it, the vote is over - Roberts is in. But that’s the least interesting part of this story because it was expected. However, I thought Hillary was going to vote for, not against, last I heard?

    Bayh and Clinton wooed their moonbat base but jeopardized their chances a general election with that vote, woot woot.

    I’m so proud that my Maryland senatorial barfbags twain were utterly predictible in their votes. (I never bother writing them anymore.)

    Perhaps when Republican Michael Steele wins the Sarbanes seat in the next election cycle, I’ll have an actual representative in the US Senate.
