I think that the nomination of Roberts for Chief Justice is an indication of political weakness on the Bush Administration's part. I think that under almost any other circumstances, Scalia would have gotten the nod for Chief Justice, but that would have meant having three different Senate hearings for Supreme Court vacancies: one for Roberts, one for whoever would be replacing Rehnquist ,and a third hearing for Scalia. I think that the Bush White House is trying to cut their losses by reducing the number of Senate hearings to two. We'll watch to see, who they pick for the second Court vacancy.
