We haven’t had much of a chance to say anything about the passing of Chief Justice Rehnquist, which is good, probably, as there’s not much nice to say about a guy who fought for the causes he fought for. However, this shit just about takes the cake: remember that smiling empty suit Bush nominated to take O’Connor’s seat? The one who has only a couple years of judicial experience EVER, having spent most of his legal career a party functionary?

Yeah. Bush has nominated Roberts to be Chief Justice. Words fail me.
