A mouse and a duck bring you continuing coverage of legal news.
John Roberts is expected to be Bush's choice when he goes on TV in a half hour.
Roberts is a beltway insider, white-shoe, harvard cum laude, white male, boring.
He's always been a hired gun, so nobody knows where he stands on anything.
Clerked for Rehnquist and judge Friendly.
It could have been worse, but it'll be years before we know if this was a good choice.
He's 50 now, so he'll probably be on the court for the next 75 years, if there's still a court then.
