1. Lack of experience on the bench. He's got a lot of experience as an attorney, but very little experience on the bench. And, yet, he's nominated for the highest judicial position in the nation.
2. At least one instance of questionable ethics. John Roberts interviewed with the White House for the SCOTUS job (at the time, O'Connor's seat) at the same time that he was deciding an important case for the White House. Whether or not any impropriety occured is irrelevant, as legal ethics require that a judge fastidiously avoid even the
appearance of impropriety. (
