John Kerry on Roberts Nomination

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: David Wade or April Boyd

July 19, 2005

Statement by John Kerry on the Nomination of John G. Roberts to the Supreme Court

"Americans deserve a Supreme Court that is fair, independent, ethical and served by justices committed to our constitutional freedoms rather than an ideological agenda. Justice O'Connor refused to use her position as a means to advance a political agenda. In replacing her, we must be confident Judge Roberts will do the same.

"We know Judge Roberts is no Sandra Day O'Connor, and the White House has sent a clear signal. There are serious questions that must be answered involving Judge Roberts' judicial philosophy as demonstrated over his short time on the appellate court. The Senate must learn whether he has clear consistent principles upholding Constitutional standards like civil rights and the right to privacy in Roe v. Wade. These issues are in serious question if you take even a cursory glance at his record.

"The American people expect the Senate to fulfill its duty to conduct a thorough, independent review of any nominee, and I intend to do exactly that. I hope Judge Roberts and the White House are forthcoming about his qualifications, background and constitutional philosophy so the Senate can act with all the facts. There's too much at stake to do anything less."

Who's John Kerry?

[Howlin]

Shut your PUNK A$$ UP, John.

[Lando Lincoln]

I detest this guy.

[mlc9852]

He must have had this prepared and just filled in the blank with the nominee's name. What a joke.

[mcg1969]

Translation: we'll give him hell, and then we'll let him get a vote.

This is FAR more concilatory than Schumer's statement.

[Dog Gone]

Oh just shut up and tell us whether or not you'll filibuster. Everything else is just predictable hot air from you losers.

[Howlin]

I hope Judge Roberts and the White House are forthcoming about his qualifications, background and constitutional philosophy

Can you hear it? It's coming.

NOT FORTHCOMING WITH INFORMATION.

Try to name ONE NOMINEE they haven't said this about.

[timpad]

Who's John Kerry?

He served in Vietnam or somewhere.

[AmericanInTokyo]

We can hold out that he will be against Roberts before his is for him.

[wrathof59]

These are the talking points he was to to say, verbatim.

[Pukin Dog]

You know, I think it is sexy when you use "Punk ASS" in a sentence.

[socal_parrot]

Who's John Kerry?

I'm not quite sure, but I think he served in Vietnam.

[big'ol_freeper]

Does Kerry still have a job?

[llevrok]

PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST. JOHN KERRY IS AN IDIOT WHOSE OPINIONS DO NOT DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION.

[deadrock]

Will Frist go nuclear?Or will the RINOs prevail?

W stepped up and hit triple, now it's time to bring this nomination home.

[RandallFlagg]

The Senate must learn whether he has clear consistent principles upholding Constitutional standards like civil rights and the right to privacy in Roe v. Wade.

Anyone else notice that these whiners always seem to equate abortion with, "Right to privacy," instead of the usual mantra of, "Choice."
BTW, isn't this the guy who served in Vietnam?

[PilloryHillary]

Kerry has already been drinking away his sorrows with his buddy Ted Kennedy and knows the fix is in. Roberts will get an up or down vote......and will be sitting on the SC come October! BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Anyone ever get the impression that this guy Kerry somehow had his mouth sewn up, and all these months and years he's been talking out his anus??

[Finalapproach29er]

What a gasbag.
