President George W. Bush announced on Monday that he wants appeals court judge John Roberts, who is awaiting Senate confirmation hearings this week to serve on the Supreme Court, to succeed the late William Rehnquist as U.S. chief justice.
Ted Kennedy was there to “congratulate” Roberts.
WTF??!!
His record on minority rights should be ammo now
This diary at dailykos gives it:
Always John Roberts has pushed positions that have created setbacks for minorities, for the disadvantaged, the disabled, and toward progress for women’s equity.
He helped water down the applicability of the Voting Rights Act going back to the Reagan years.
