Bush's SCOTUS Pick

Well, Bush zagged when everyone thought he'd zig. Good for him. I don't know much about Judge John Roberts, but let's get one thing clear: Bush owes nothing to the Senate Democrats as far as who he decides to pick for SCOTUS. It's his presidential prerogative, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, to choose who he feels is right for the position. The Democrats won't like it, but they're in no position to object; Bush won, Kerry lost, and to the victor go the spoils, amongst them the presidential right to pick the next Supreme Court justice. Additionally, if the Democratic minority in the Senate try to filibuster Roberts, they'll promptly have the filibuster taken away from them by the Republican Senate majority. Bush has all the cards. Not only that, but if the Democrats attempt to obstruct Roberts, they run the risk of appearing as bad faith actors.
