Who were President George W Bush's two US Supreme Court appointees?

Answer 1

President George W. Bush nominated John G. Roberts, Jr to serve as Chief Justice, and Samuel Alito, Jr to serve as an Associate Justice. Both of those nominations were confirmed by the Senate. Previously, President Bush nominated Harriet Miers to serve as an Associate Justice. However, Harriet Miers was forced to withdraw her name from consideration due to the general consensus that she lacked the qualifications necessary for an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court.

Chief Justice Roberts was confirmed by a Senate vote of 78-22 on September 29, 2005; Justice Alito was confirmed by a vote of 58-42 on January 31, 2006.
