Hello Grthumongous,
Since 2003 John Glover Roberts has been a judge on the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
?George W. Bush nominated Roberts to the Circuit Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia on May 9, 2001, but the nomination ? along
with 29 others ? failed to make it out of the Democrat controlled U.S.
Senate Committee on the Judiciary."
"He was renominated on January 7, 2003, to replace James L. Buckley.
His nomination was approved by the Judiciary Committee by a vote of 16
to three, with Senators Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer and Ted
Kennedy opposing."
"He was approved by the Senate under unanimous consent and he received
his commission on June 2, 2003.?
?Roberts previously spent 14 years in private law practice and held
positions in Republican administrations in the U.S. Department of
Justice and Office of the White House Counsel.?
