President Bush hinted on Monday that his next nominee for the Supreme Court would be a woman or a minority, saying that "diversity is one of the strengths of the country."
The president also expressed optimism that the Senate would confirm John Roberts as chief justice this week _ which seems virtually certain.
Bush, asked about his next nominee, said "I will pick a person who can do the job. But I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country."
