Bush should get a solid A for his nomination. Now it's up to Roberts.
Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly said she did not know Roberts' record in detail but was reassured by what she's heard. "One vote on the court won't solve all of our problems," she said, "but this is a great first step."
Christian Coalition Believes President Bush Nominated to the Supreme Court a Strict Constructionist in Judge John Roberts
WOW....this is great...the liberal loons are breathing fire... ;o)
Yes, after all the months "gearing up" for the battle, I think the liberals realize there is really nothing they can do about this.
"Judge Roberts is going to be strong on statutory interpretation and strong on Constitutional interpretation. He is not somebody who wants to legislate from the bench. This is exactly what the President said that he would give us and he has."
Especially this guy, who according to Scalia never gets flustered in court no matter how many questions are flying at him.
So far we have the following Christian conservatives strongly on board with the Roberts nomination:
James Dobson (Focus on the Family)
Jay Sekulow (American Center for Law and Justice)
Edwin Meese
Pat Robertson
Jerry Falwell
Gary Bauer
Louis Sheldon (Coalition for Traditional Values)
Christian Coalition
American Family Association
Phyllis Schlafly (Eagle Forum)
Uh ... I don't think this is a Souter.
Excuse me. To what was his oath of office? What is to the Constitution or to the SCOTUS' decisions? If the Consitution only means what SCOTUS says it means, why do we need a written Constition? (to quote Sobran).
It's sad when Ann Coulter has more of a backbone than Christian or pro-life leaders.
"A culture of life can never be built as long as Roe v. Wade is the law of the land," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.
"We appreciate President Bush being a man of his word by appointing a judge that will respect the Right to Life acknowledged by our nation's founding documents," said Newman. "We pray that Roberts will be swiftly confirmed."
"Our nation has suffered enough under decades of liberal activist judges legislating from the bench," said OR spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger. "After 45 million dead children, we are guardedly optimistic that the confirmation of Judge Roberts will be a step toward restoring protections for the pre-born that were stolen from them in 1973."
Good article. Ann Coulter should read this.
I went to google beta for the latest. Under the new Supreme Court nominee is the link 365Gay.com. This makes it look like Bush has nominated a Gay, but it's not true. Nevertheless, the Democrats would oppose and fight tooth and nail. They do not care what their voting blocks think, they make ammends later. But wouldn't it be weird if the guy was a Log Cabin Republican?!?!?!
I don't think it even remotely possible.
So what did the article say?.... The ones I've seen from the groups such as that have been expressing concern over his nomination ...
Ditto.
