John Roberts seems like a very reasonable guy. I'm nearly hoping he gets confirmed.

Here's a decent Slate article with a few tidbits about Roberts. (Sidenote: Reed seems to have gone nuts with the hyperlinks. He links "time ran out" to a picture of Bush staring at his watch, and "nerd made good" to a picture of Harry Potter. It's like he's making expos VA's or something. Meanwhile, the useful stuff, like the NYT article above, is linked to words like "the dining room at Hogan & Hartson". What the hell?)
