Roberts sworn in as Chief Justice Chicago Tribune ^ \| Jan Crawford Judge John Roberts Jr. was sworn in Thursday as the nation's 17th chief justice, succeeding the man he once called "Boss," after the Senate voted 78-22 to confirm him, with attention quickly shifting to the next vacancy on the Supreme Court. Standing under the chandeliers in the White House's East Room, with a beaming President Bush at his side, Roberts vowed to bear "true faith and allegiance" to the Constitution. Six of the court's current justices sat before him, having witnessed Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's most senior member, deliver the oath to Roberts while his wife Jane held the Bible. Roberts, the Harvard-educated lawyer and skilled advocate who argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court, will return Friday to the marble courthouse where he has spent much of his professional life. When the court begins its new term Monday, he will usher in a new era, taking the center seat on the court's bench that William Rehnquist had occupied the previous 19 years.
