Okay, so to replace Sandra Day O'Connor we've got a blue-eyed straight white guy, John G. Roberts. He's a 50-year-old Washington insider and member of the Federalist Society, clerked for Rehnquist, worked in the Reagan and H.W. Bush Departments of Justice, and has argued against Roe and against environmental regulations.
