| | The Senate Judiciary Committee votes on his nomination to be the new Supreme Court Chief Justice. | | | Gillespie: Well, if you look at Judge Roberts’ comments, it was clear throughout the process of the hearings that he is one who applies the law as it is written in the Constitution and by legislatures, not…an activist judge who'll make laws based on his own personal opinion. | | | Roberts says he plans to be his own man on the Supreme Court, a point he made by not invoking the names of conservative Justices Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas. |

| | Gillespie says he became a Republican "when Ireland did," but his big break was taking a job with Rep. Dick Armey in 1985 and orchestrating his rise to power, especially his takeover of the House Republican conference in 1992. | | | Gillespie was one of the architects of the famous "Contract with America" — his official bio calls him its "principal drafter" — which paved the way for the Republican takeover of the House of Representatives in 1994. | | | Gillespie's rise from New Jersey kid to mega-power broker in Washington began when he worked as a parking lot attendant at the U.S. Senate and then as an assistant to Rep. Andy Ireland, a former Democrat from Florida who switched to the Republicans and got reelected in the 1984 Reagan landslide. |
