The AP reports this morning that John Roberts is assured “a comfortable, bipartisan Senate confirmation as the nation’s chief justice.â€?Roberts has received substantial bipartisan support throughout the confirmation process, winning the respect of Senators from both parties. The AP goes on to report “21 Senate Democrats agreed he has ‘a brilliant legal mind’ and will be among the 76 senators — more than three-fourths of the 100-member Senate — who say they will vote today to confirm Roberts as the successor to the late William H. Rehnquist.â€?
