Roberts sworn in as chief justice and party lines edge
Roberts was sworn in as chief justice after a 78 22 Senate vote. He pledged to defend the Constitution and noted the confirmation as a bedrock principle. The ceremony included most sitting justices, Roberts family, and White House officials. OConnor’s replacement remains to be chosen, with Scalia and Thomas anchored on the right.
