Bush's Supreme Court Nominee to become Chief Justice
WASHINGTON -- The Senate voted 78-22 to confirm federal judge John G. Roberts as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court.
Roberts received affirmative votes from all 55 Republicans, 22 Democrats, and lone Independent James Jeffords.
The Democrats have promised to stage a much tougher fight if Bush's second nominee, who will replace the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor, is a conservative ideologue.
Roberts, 50, will be the youngest chief justice in 200 years.
