Perhaps this is what GWB had in mind all along: to nominate Roberts as Chief Justice on the retirement or death of Justice Rehnquist. It just happened earlier than expected.
My thought: if Roberts is qualified to be an Associate Justice, and from what I've heard he is, he should be qualified to be Chief Justice. I personally think that the replacement should be a sitting Justice, but then, I'm not the one making the nomination.
Since Roberts is now the Rehnquist replacement nominee, who will GWB nominate to replace O'Connor?
