Bush did not offer any hints during the swearing-in ceremony for Roberts.
Roberts said the Senate's bipartisan vote for him was "confirmation of what
is for me a bedrock principle — that judging is different from politics."
All of the Senate's 55 Republicans, half of the 44 Democrats and independent
James Jeffords of Vermont supported him.
Roberts' confirmation came ahead of the court's new term, which begins
Monday.
As for Bush's list of prospects, "it's not that long," White House press
secretary Scott McClellan said.
Legal activists in contact with the White House suggest the list has been
narrowed to about five or six candidates — appeals court judges and perhaps some
who have never sat on the bench.
