Judge Roberts To Be Confirmed Today

Judge John Roberts is expected to be confirmed today by more than three-quarters of the U.S. Senate, clearing the final hurdle on the road to Chief Justice of the United States.

There have been no surprises in the confirmation process except for the willingness of some liberal Democrats, such as Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, to cast their vote in his favor. About twenty-two Democrats are expected to approve the nomination.
