Default Oppose John Roberts' Supreme Court Nomination

Hello,

In the past weeks, Republicans and Democrats have called on President Bush to nominate a moderate for the Supreme Court –- someone who would honor the legacy of independent Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. But last night, President Bush nominated Judge John Roberts, a far-right lawyer and corporate lobbyist, to fill her post on the Supreme Court.

We’ve got to stop Roberts. He opposed clean air rules and worked to help coal companies strip-mine mountaintops. He worked with Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr), and tried to keep Congress from defending the Voting Rights Act. He wrote that Roe v. Wade should be “overruled,” and as a lawyer argued (and won) the case that stopped some doctors from even discussing abortion.

Join me in signing MoveOn’s petition to let our Senators know we expect them to oppose John Roberts right now at:

Thanks.

It's really not fair to ascribe to him the arguments he made on behalf of clients.

i'd say move on (.org) to other more important issues - one more goat in supreme court is not the real problem.

Don't you get it, Rikitz? The real problem with John Roberts is that he's controlled by Zionists.

Default Bush did his job

He picked the most qualified man for the job, someone who would do their best to interpret the Constitution. There were many, many controversial candidates that Bush could have chosen, but he instead chose someone who shows that he works with both sides and is overall very fair and balanced. Moveon, should do just that. They should moveon from the fact that they hate Bush and realize that they should support Roberts' nomination. Many Democrats already have.

Default Thanks Schwarz

I'll take your suggestion under advisement.
Done
I think I will support Roberts.
Have a nice day!
