==Confirmation Process==
With the death of Chief Justice [[William Rehnquist]] in 2005, President Bush withdrew Roberts' nomination for associate justice to replace Sandra Day O'Connor and renominated him for chief justice, with only a slight delay in his confirmation hearings to allow for Rehnquist's funeral services. The nomination was first considered by the 18-member Senate Judiciary Committee. On September 22, the committee voted 13-5 to send Roberts' confirmation to the full Senate, winning the support of Judiciary Committee Chairman [[Arlen Specter]] (R-Pennsylvania), and ranking minority member [[Patrick Leahy]] (D-Vermont). On September 29, Roberts was confirmed by the full Senate by a vote of 78-22. Hours after confirmation, he was sworn in by the senior associate justice, [[John Paul Stevens]] at the White House.
