Critch, John Roberts is emphatically NOT a politician. He's a judge.
He will rule on the cases that come before him - and no others.
He will rule on how the Constitution of the US -as it is written- applies to those cases. And that's all he'll do.
My guess is that Roberts will be confirmed. The big question then is who will be nominated next to replace Judge O'Connor. IF that person is another so-called "Originalist" who will support the written Constitution, and IF that person gets confirmed, it is almost a certainty that the left and gun control crowd will avoid bringing any cases before the Supreme Court for decades to come. Because they'd almost certainly lose.
Under those circumstances, it is probable that the right, pro-gun crowd will make repeated attempts to get a gun control case before that court. Because they'd probably win.
