Re: Roberts--Think this had anything to do with it?
Obama was one of 22 Senate Democrats to vote against Roberts' confirmation to the Supreme Court in 2005 — the first time a Supreme Court justice has sworn in a president who voted against him.

2. Only 35 words in the oath. Maybe it was on purpose.

5. I've got to agree with you, babylonsister. It was probably nerves. Nonetheless
this is a man who has been consistently wrong about just about everything. I guess that's a hard habit to break.

11. Yeah, I'll give him a pass, too.
Wasn't it the first time he's sworn in a president? He didn't do ** in 2004, did he? Anyway, it looked like he apologized later.

3. And he got revenge
. . . by making himself look like an idiot.

9. I think Roberts is so full of himself he thought he could
do it without notes. Oh, but he has a 'brilliant legal mind' like all other bush appointees.:eyes:

10. Roberts is undoubtedly a smart man.
Unfortunately, he believes he is a brilliant man.
