Roberts Confirmation

Posted by Moonage on 15 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: The Legal Process

After finishing with Roberts, senators went into a closed-door meeting to review his FBI background check; they said they found nothing awry.

Lawmakers then heard from outside critics and supporters. The American Bar Association testified about the unanimous "well-qualified" rating it gave Roberts last month. There are six panels of 31 witnesses scheduled to testify in the hearings, which the committee hopes to finish on Thursday.

Roberts is expected to be confirmed easily.

The interview process is over.

Good.

Step One wasn’t even entertaining.   I will give Kennedy and Feinstein credit for attempting to get the most words in in 30 minutes or less.  Senator Schumer took a cute picture.  That’s about it.

The real fireworks will begin when SC #2 is nominated.
