As the Senate confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan get underway, the Edward M. Kennedy Institute is partnering with the PBS NewsHour to provide video highlights of the nine most recent Senate confirmation hearings.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts faced the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2005 and would be confirmed by a 78 to 22 vote.
I like Roberts, but his eyes seemed oddly bulging in some shots

I'm liberal but if you pulled a generic judge out of a box you'd get John Roberts. He looks so judicial looking lol.
He'd also look like a good James Bond actor for the 1970s.

Roberts is great, but he oversimplifies when he says judges are like umpires, calling "balls and strikes." In many cases they're forced to do more than that. When the intended meaning of a statute or clause of the constitution is unclear in general, or as applied to the facts of a case, they have to fill in those gaps with their "judgment." If things were simply balls and strikes, we'd hardly need appellate judges at all.

I agree. Chief Justice Roberts is not an extremist. Justices’ Scalia and Thomas, on the other hand, do come off as extremists.

Efforts to demonize Roberts in these hearings fell flat on their face. Roberts was too knowledgeable to painted as an extremist.
