Judicial Confirmation Network Chief Counsel Wendy E. Long stated today, upon the U.S. Senate's confirmation, by a vote of 78 to 22, of Judge John G. Roberts to be Chief Justice of the United States:
"The Senate has overwhelmingly confirmed Chief Justice Roberts, a strong judicial conservative who will carry President George W. Bush's legacy on the Court well into the 21st Century. All Americans can be proud and confident that their rights, liberties, and ability to govern themselves will be safe in the hands of Chief Justice Roberts and other Justices who abide by the philosophy of judicial restraint and faithfulness to the Constitution."
