Bush and Roberts inspect leading judiciary candidates.
Washington, DC (Rotters) Newly nominated Supreme Court candidate John Roberts spent another high profile day today with President Bush. The two were said to have discussed strategies for confirmation as well as future plans for the Judiciary in America for the near future.
“I continue to be just blown away by this man”, President Bush stated. “I truly believe we have found the right man for the job. I have every reason to believe that John is capable of strict interpretation of the law without legislation from the bench. He has a lot of great ideas about the directions he would like to see justice migrate in America. It has been a long time coming, but I feel that he is up to the challenge of paring down our unwieldy legal systems in this country.”

“I think that the confirmation should proceed fairly smoothly”, said Mr. Roberts. “I’ll stand by my record of the strictest interpretation of the law, and America should have absolutely nothing to dread. This country has suffered tremendously because the law has become soft, and often even used inappropriately. One of my main goals will be to work towards decentralizing things and promoting personal accountability in everyday life… This will be the justice of the future.”

Many on Capitol Hill still question the rapidity of the decision to appoint Mr. Roberts by Bush, upset by the fact that it may have been calculated to distract from the Rove scandal. Others suggest that the rapidity of the appointment is evidence that Mr. Roberts has been groomed and trained all along for the position. Still others remain upset that while hinted at, and some suggest even propagandized about, a woman was not selected. Exiting Justice Sandra O’Connor stated that Mr. Roberts was just as qualified as all of the candidates, but wondered why President Bush was so quick on the draw to not select a woman. “A woman can handle a Gavel just as well as a man, and sometimes even better”, she said.

White House Spokesperson Scott McClellan was quoted as saying, “Dread is understandable from all sides, but Mr. Roberts deserves, or rather demands an expedient and dignified confirmation process. He is the right man for the job for America, and as one of his recent rulings has shown, he is right for the continued war on terror in America. Justice will be served.”
