Today was a busy day for anyone following the United States Supreme Court.

First John Roberts was sworn in as the new Chief Justice. Here is a link to a video of the swearing-in ceremony.

Then later Harriet Miers was nominated by President Bush to fill the seat being vacated by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

One point of interest is that Justice O'Connor is still serving on the Court until her replacement has been approved. She was present today during the Court's first session this term.
