It seems that Bush has chosen to repair his relations with the conservative base rather than try to please everyone. I don't like this nomination. Reinquist was a conservative, so Roberts's placement as Chief Justice will not do much to affect the court. However, Bush should have stuck with nominating a moderate to replace O'Connor, perhaps the only voice of reason in a highly divided court. If Alito's confirmed, things will obviously start shifting to the right.
