There's a nice round-up of activist organization executive directors and scholars' initial impression of the nomination over at Salon.com.
ETA: I agree with this guy over at the Cato Institute quoted in the above article: - What do we know about John Roberts? Not much. Yes, Roberts is one of the most highly respected lawyers of his generation. He has also spent vanishingly little time on the bench. Is it too early for pundits of all stripes to take a dose of humility and admit the obvious? We have no idea what kind of a justice he will be.

I think the Dems should just wave this one through. We should be thankful it wasn't Brown or Coulter or somebody. The R's on the Gang of 14 will never buy this one as an extraordinary circumstance, so Roberts will sail through. If a Dem senator tries to filibuster, the right will shriek and howl about how unreasonable they are, and I personally wouldn't disagree. Let's get back to discussing what a slimebag Karl Rove is, asap.
