Chief Justice John Roberts???

As most of you know Judge John Roberts has started his confirmation hearings today in front of the US Senate Judiciary committee. Here some good stories regarding the hearings. First, this is a piece from the New York Times on how both Democrats and Republicans are trying to play nice during this process. Another good piece from the Washington Post on how the first day of hearings played out. Finally here some quotes from Senators on the judiciary committee that were given during their opening statements this afternoon.

Tonight at 7pm in the Student Services Building room 375, The ISU Dems will be joined by professors and community activists to discuss the nomination of Judge Roberts. We want to hear what students think about his nomination. Please come out and make your two cents heard on this very important issue.

Also use this blog as a forum to post your thoughts and tell us what you think about the nomination of Judge Roberts...

Thanks and hope to see everyone tonight. Also check back to the blog tonight and tomorrow to see students reaction to discussion and the first day of hearings.
