John G. Roberts, Jr., Supreme Court nominee

Read a great Washington Post article here about the person who is Mr. Roberts. Maybe this guy is the perfect Supreme Court justice: a kind of idiot savant legal scholar who has had his eye on the prize since he acquired a conscience, and who plays a mean ambidextrous squash game. Don't bother trying to figure out whether this guy is left or right; he's obsessed with the letter of the law - maybe just what we need to return to a stricter interpretation of the Constitution.
