Bush nominates conservative to US Supreme Court
US President George Bush named federal appeals court judge John Roberts for a seat on the Supreme Court, delighting Republicans while unsettling some Democrats with the selection of a young jurist with impeccable conservative credentials.
“John Roberts has devoted his entire professional life to the cause of justice,” Bush said in a televised announcement at the White House. He “is widely admired for his intellect his sound judgment and his personal decency”, Bush said.
