Top Democrat Says He'll Vote No on Roberts

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 - The Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said Tuesday that he would oppose the confirmation of Judge John G. Roberts Jr. as chief justice, surprising both the White House and fellow Democrats still conflicted about how to vote.

Who's surprised??? Did the White House really believe Reid would vote for Roberts??? Reid and other liberal Democrats aren't going to vote for any Republican Supreme Court nominee. I wish Bush would just go ahead and nominate Janice Rogers Brown for O'Conner's seat.
