J-Robe Robed
John Roberts will likely be the next member of the SCOTUS. Until earlier today, I don't think I'd ever heard of him. From what I read, he's more Rehnquist than Scalia. Take that as you will.
My favorite take on this whole SCOTUS War comes from Mickey Kaus.

If the alternative to a divisive Supreme Court fight is returning the public's attention to a) the ongoing casualties in Iraq; b) a scandal involving the president's top aide and c) a highly unpopular Social Security plan, I'd say Bush's biggest fear is that Roberts isn't controversial or divisive enough. He might just sail through!Funny guy, that Kaus.

From what I've been reading on the liberal blogs everyone is sort of in a "we can't expect much better than this, let's all get back to Rove" mode.
Yeah, I usually opt for the belief that things have a way of being more mundane than we expect. So, I don't expect this thing to "go nuclear" and all that. I don't even think it will even be all the contentious once he gets up there. He's a D.C. insider above all else. And what's more insiderly than the freakin' Senate?
