The Supreme Court Nomination Blog In the category of Associate Supreme Court Justice, the nominee is Judge John Roberts. But the winner is...who? Conservatives? Moderates? It's anyone's guess. If Roberts is confirmed, liberals will hold out hope for a left-of-center, Souter-esque surprise. Conservatives are itching for an ironclad right-winger. Sorting it out in seemingly nonpartisan fashion are the lawyer-bloggers of Goldstein & Howe. Posts include analyses of Roberts' judicial opinions and temperament; a rundown of which Court precedents could be in jeopardy (everything from campaign finance to late-term abortion to religious displays); Roberts' separate concurrences and dissents on the D.C. Circuit Court; and speculation that the new judge could -- along with Kennedy and Breyer -- form a new moderate "gang of 3." Also of note are transcripts from Roberts' past Senate hearings and a collection of other commentaries. Let the voting begin. (in Government)
