YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Following the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist ten years ago, President George W. Bush nominated D.C. Circuit judge John Roberts to become the 17th chief justice of the United States. Roberts was grilled by the Senate Judiciary Committee for nearly a week. The former Reagan and Bush 41 Justice Department official was eventually confirmed by the full Senate in September 2005 by a vote of 78-22. In his 10 years as chief, Roberts has overseen a Supreme Court that has expanded the role of money in politics, twice upheld President Obama's signature Affordable Care Act and expanded marriage access to same-sex couples
