President George Bush chose John G. Roberts as Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

(Bush and Roberts tape)

Roberts has served for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for the past two years. He has worked as a law clerk for Chief Justice Rehnquist and for the Reagan Administration as Special Assistant to the Attorney General William French Smith and as a counsel to President Reagan. He also worked for President George H.W. Bush as Deputy Solicitor General. His nomination is hailed by many conservatives and is receiving mixed reaction from democrats. We will have more on the reaction from some women's groups, later in the newscast.
