| Anti-civil Rights, Believes in Segregation and Anti-Choice and Privacy |
|
This was written to deter his nomination to the US Court of Appeals - DC Court. Imagine what they would of said or will say for the SCOTUS....
<snip>
While working under Presidents Reagan and Bush, Mr. Roberts supported a hard-line, anti-civil rights policy that opposed affirmative action, would have made it nearly impossible for minorities to prove a violation of the Voting Rights Act and would have “resegregated” America’s public schools. He also took strongly anti-choice positions in two Supreme Court cases, one that severely restricted the ability of poor women to gain information about abortion services, and another that took away a key means for women and clinics to combat anti-abortion zealots.

Utterly unqualified, with nothing to recommend him except mindless party loyalty and a history of being a toady for extremists...
