With Rinquist gone, John Roberts is now going for the lead judiciary appointment. I think that is just plain wrong, a newbie to to supreme court should NOT be in charge of it. |

Total Posts: 1892 | Only Three Former Supreme Court Justices were Associate Justices before their appointment. Those three were Rehnquist, Stone, and White. One would note that those three served in the 20th century, but still a minority even then weren't directly (Directly meaning: Not Serving as an Associate Justice before serving as Chief) appointed Chief Justice. So appointing a "newbie" is a common practice.
