A dip into politics
Michael Bérubé explains why it may be that Mr. Bush passed over the women and minorities on his short list and went with another white anglo male:
On Friday last, the federal appeals court in DC, headed by none other than John Roberts gave the administration a blank check as regards the detainees at Guantanamo. At issue was whether the detainees could be tried by military tribunal; two lower federal courts said they could not. As rulings go, this one was a slam dunk–no qualifications, no concessions of any sort to the plaintiff.
You should read the whole of this thoughtful post but the point here is that this case will now be appealed to the Supreme Court, on which this same John Roberts may well be sitting.
