137. I believe there is a chance that he could be defeated
Here is a bare-bones time line of questionable events:

~2000 Roberts works as a republican *activist* in the Florida recount.

~2003 Roberts is appointed to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals

~2004 Roberts as a lobbiest donates 80,000 to the bush/cheney campaign



Important questions raised by the above timetable:

~As a political activist, doesn't this raise the possiblility that he will *legislate from the bench* ?

~Are federal employees allowed to be paid lobbiests?

~Isn't it a conflict of interest for a sitting federal judge to lobby Congress?




The more these points are discussed, the dirtier the */cheney team appears. All but the die-hard bush-bots are now regretting their voting for bush.

The above points could well derail this nomination.

The above points may expose more illegal activity by this corrupt administration.
