Chief Justice is a separate position and requires a separate confirmation. I would love to see Scalia or Thomas confirmation hearings, but I doubt the Senate could find the time in the next 18 months to hold hearings on a Supreme Court nomination – too much of “the people’s business” to do.

As awful as Roberts is as a judge… and that’s plenty awful, as he appears, based on outcomes, to have a history over his career of deciding cases before hearing arguments… one has to contemplate a few other possibilities to appreciate him. See how these roll off your tongue: “Chief Justice Antonin Scalia.” “Chief Justice Clarence Thomas.” “Chief Justice Fred Fielding.” (Hey, don’t laugh; Bush did that once before with another former White House counsel who now couldn’t show up for confirmation hearings without being seized.)
