On the question of experience, (if someone else mentioned it I apologize) he has argued many cases before the SC and was a clerk for Renquist back in the day. NPR also interviewed a friend of his who is an enviro lawyer. It seems Roberts argued a case for him once when he had a teaching comitment and won one for the regulators. That said, I don't have any idea what he'd do on the court. Is he bright? Yes. Competent? Seemingly. What sort of conservative is he, the big gummint type, the anything thats good for corporations type? The bow and scrape before authority type? If he's the W not really a conservative by any serious definition type we may have a problem. If he is the sort of conservative that understands government is currently over-reaching and would limit left and right wing intrusions, I'd be pleased.
