In 2001, President George W. Bush nominated Roberts to a judicial position on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which is considered the most prestigious and important appellate court below the Supreme Court.
In 2005, Bush nominated Roberts to replace Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who announced her retirement in 2005. Before the Senate could confirm the nomination, however, Chief Justice William Rehnquist died and Bush withdrew Roberts' nomination for Associate Justice in favor of making him a candidate to replace Rehnquist (which postponed O'Connor's resignation until 2006, when Samuel Alito replaced her on the Court). Roberts was confirmed by a Republican-lead Senate by a vote of 78-22.
