Retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor has expressed approval of her proposed replacement, U.S. Appellate Judge John G. Roberts, saying at a conference of judges and lawyers yesterday, "I have watched Judge Roberts since he has been an advocate before our court, and I and my colleagues have been enormously impressed with his scholarship and his skills."
Justice O'Connor was disappointed that a woman was not nominated but apparently did not let this dampen her enthusiasm for Judge Roberts. "I am disappointed, in a sense, to see the percentage of women on our court drop by 50 percent, but I can't be disappointed in the quality of person nominated. He's first rate," she added.
