Would people please, please, please, please stop complaining about John Roberts being nominated, confirmed and sworn as the Chief Justice of the United States?
I didn't think so, somehow. However if you are going to complain, please figure out what your complaint is, why you personally believe that he is unqualified to be Chief Justice of the United States and who you suggest as a more qualified candidate.
The entire process was Constitutional, he is a very intelligent man and he was nominated by an extremely right-wing president. Did anyone expect Bush to find the next Brennan? Maybe he'll turn into Souter or Kennedy. Who knows?
Even if he doesn't, wah I don't like his politics, is not a valid reason for saying he should not be Cheif Justice of the United States. He seems to have a lot more going on upstairs than some of his predecesors. Like the recently departed Rehnquist, I believe he will be efficient, be able to broker compromise and write logically consistent opinions. Maybe I'm wrong.
But, I reitterate, whatever your complaint is, please stop saying he's not qualified because you don't like his political views.

The supreme court nomination processes were ones that the white house eventually won. But, they came at a cost. The president has expended his political capital.
Whatever means one can use to debunk an opponent are legitimate because this isn't anything BUT a political process and politics isn't like some job interview so no, never stop complaining about one's opponent's selections for judiciary. That is why there is a Senate confirmation. It isn't a hand-holding process.
