Roberts' answer, Robert Jackson, intrigued and reassured Rove. When appointed in 1941, Jackson was serving as Franklin Roosevelt's attorney general and had been expected to be a pro-New Deal rubber-stamp on the court. But, as Rove put it, Jackson "instead demonstrated a fidelity to the Constitution that Roberts admired."

If the conflagration keeps coming east, the four-bedroom wooden house on Buckeye Drive will almost certainly be destroyed along with the rest of the Rockrimmon, Colo., neighborhood where I was raised.
