I have finally gotten tired of all the crap the Judge Roberts has been taking.
Roberts was Rated 'Well Qualified' by the American Bar Association
and
George W. Bush nominated Roberts to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on May 9, 2001, but the nomination —along with 29 others— failed to make it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He was renominated on January 7, 2003, to replace James L. Buckley. His nomination was approved by the Judiciary Committee by a vote of 16 to 3 with Senators Durbin, Schumer, and Kennedy opposing. He was approved by the Senate by unanimous consent and he received his commission on June 2, 2003.
So he was okay in 2003, but not 2005.
However, Roberts hates women: Here are a few things Roberts believes in this article that are way to right wing for Democratic senators:
1. promotions and firings in the workplace should be based entirely on merit, not affirmative action programs.
2. "four decades of misguided" Supreme Court decisions on the role of religion in public life
3. creation of a national identity card to prove American citizenship
4. Roberts singled out three ideas for particular criticism: what he characterized as a California requirement that employers take into account affirmative action, in addition to seniority, when laying off workers; another California proposal to require women to be paid the same as men for state jobs considered of comparable worth; and a Florida proposal to charge women lower tuition than men at state colleges because their earning power was less.
Wow, this guy is crazy. He want equal treatment for everyone, people to prove that they are American citizens, and he believes that it might be okay to say the word God in a public place without getting sued by the ACLU.
These ideas seem way right wing, not at all things a majority of the American people think...of course, this is the thought process of liberals, and that is why they have lost every election since 1994.
Here are some more crazy articles attacking Roberts:
Roberts wanted the South to win the civil war...
Roberts loves gays
Roberts hates gays
Adds saying Roberts loves it when people blow up abortion clinics
Finally, here is the comparison between the Roberts nomination and the Ginsburg nomination...it points out that Republicans have morals and class...while it has been shown here that the Democrats will do anything to stop a someone who isn't a liberal from getting on the bench.
A great quote from the article:
"What's the difference between the nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by President Bill Clinton and the nomination of Judge Roberts by President Bush? Answer: nothing. Ginsburg appeared as liberal as Roberts does conservative, yet she was approved 96 to 3. The GOP decided it would not be a party of useless litmus tests or panderers to special interests. And in the next election, Republicans made it clear she would not have been their choice. That is, after all, what elections are about."
I couldn't have said it better myself...
Now...
Is Roberts really out of the mainstream? If yes, how?
Are the Democrats just objecting to him because their party is now the party that just says NO to everything the PARTY OF POWER WANTS?
Will Roberts be confirmed? What will the vote count be?

You knew this was coming, and it is the brilliance of Bush's pick...........Roberts is almost unbeatable. And the Dems know it.
I think it's great they are being led down this road, by the multitude of Leftist nut groups.......Trust me the Dems don't want to do this, but are doing so out of necessity to please their base.
It will cost them greatly in the court of public appeal.......Hell, I hope they even get the votes for a filibuster, so they can show themselves for what they really are.
Either way, Roberts will be confirmed and we will have another Conservative on The Court.......For 40-50 years!!!!
---------------
Plus, let them use up some of the little goodwill they have.........This way Bush can go big with the pick to replace Reinquist.
GO NUTS FAT TEDDY, LEAKY LEAHY, SLOW JOE, AND BABS! --> Show the American people exactly what your party is all about!!!
Listen, the Dems will never support Roberts unless maybe he agreed to perform a late term abortion in front of the senate panel(though rest assured I don't think he'd consent to that anyway).
I laughed my ass off for about two minutes after your post viking son...
Pero, you are right...the left has to look like they don't want to vote for Roberts, because the dems are run by speical interest groups...
that is why the dems look like crazies to most Americans, they have to please the crazy interest groups.
Judge Roberts will be approved by the senate. There is no doubt, leave the blustering blowhard BS where it belongs... in the stupid liberal media outlets.
I don't quite understand what the problem you guys have with special interest groups. Special interest groups do hail from liberal venues and can be extreme, however many of these groups also have conservative opinions. The NRA, the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Association, the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin are all special interest groups. These groups all have a specific purpose; to represent the views of their members to government and lobby for what their people want. Do you remember the last time your congressman consulted you about how he should vote in Washington? I sure don't, however, by becoming a member of a special interest group, I give them the power to voice my opinion to my congressman.
Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the criticism that is being placed on liberals... but special interest groups are not the correct bodies to be blaming.
Label me a liberal... but that's my opinion.
You are kidding me, right Da?
Roberts is obviously a well qualified judge. It is all the far left special interest groups that are putting the pressure on the dems to fight this nomination. It is these special interest groups that now set the agenda for the dems. This is making the Democratic Party look like a fractured concoction of crazy special interest groups...that is what is wrong with them...
They have no purpose anymore but to try and oppose anything a republican does...
Although I would like to see another female posted to the Court, I think Roberts will probably do a fine job. I don't really know much about Roberts, so I'm not going to comment about him, only the correct use of terms.
The interest groups are not all leftist and extreme, I think that's a fair assumption and I don't think it's appropriate to use the term special interest groups as a leftist put-down.
The special interest groups don't set the agenda for dems, but yes they do play a part in it, just as they should for republicans and any other party. We are the special interest groups. We all have opinions and they should be expressed to our representatives so they can effectively represent us.
Should special interest groups exist and openly speak their views, even if they are crazy when looked upon by you? Hell yeah! That is exactly what they are for. The only reason they have any sort of power is because people believe what they are saying. Are those people too stupid to play an active role in government, perhaps... but unless we find a way of seperating "intolerables" out, there is nothing to be done about that. Should we consider killing people off or sending them away because they have different values than us? Then where would this America be?
omg, we know... no one has used special interest groups as a liberal put down. If you were conservative you would probably know how to read a sentence in the context of the entire post. No one has a problem with special interest groups. We have a problem with specific special interest groups that are far left and running the democatic party into the ground.
you see, If I say "I don't like specific special interest groups that run the dems into the ground" and then later in the post say "yea those special interest groups..." I'm still talking about the specific ones not all. thats called context it isnt a dem get out of saying something stupid card it actually IS something... hopefully you know what is means.
