Here is what Freddie at ConfirmThem thinks President Bush certainly came through for judicial conservatives tonight. Roberts is a solid originalist/textualist, and he will make for an incredible justice. Oh, and he will be confirmed. My favorite quote of the night, courtesy of 42 U.S.C. 1983 (over at the Greedy Clerks Board):

My God - they’re going to put a real lawyer on the bench. This is very, very exciting.
