I have a couple of questions/observations about the US Supreme Court and Chief Justice Roberts.
What powers does a Chief Justice have over his counterparts? Isn't a majority all that is needed for a ruling?
And shouldn't the chief justice be drawn from the existing ranks of justices? It would seem that this would be better, given that it would mean the Chief Justice would have prior experience on the bench.
And I must say that it was smart of Bush to nominate someone so young... you'll be stuck with Roberts for a long time, methinks...
