It's old news. I live in Virginia and I never heard of this group until they released this statement a few weeks ago.

Roberts spent 6 hours role-playing as Scalia for his liberal colleagues in his firm. I hope the liberals are stupid enough to fall for this.

Same thing we made of it the other numerous times it's been discussed...nothing.

These people need to get a grip. OK so he doesn't think its ok to codify laws discriminating against gay people. On that basis they are going to withdraw their support? Good riddance to these clowns!

Let's see. Prior to retirement I did mainly criminal defense. Does that mean I must believe criminals should not be charged and found guilty?
I represented them, I did not necessarily agree with them.
And no darn lawyer jokes please.

I think that Bush ought to withdraw Roberts' nomination because of this group withdrawing their support.
(sarcasm off)
To: TBP
The groups were attempting to have the court strike down a voter-approved 1992 Colorado initiative allowing employers and landlords to exclude gays from jobs and housing. So if you think that it's unconstitutional to pass a law permitting employers and landlords to discriminate against gays in jobs and housing, then you're "pro gay?"
Equal access to job opportunities and housing is not what I think of when I think of the "gay agenda."

They SAY they're a conservative group..
More likely they are Liberals posing as conservatives hoping to confuse religious conservatives into believing the lie...
Liberals (say "Socialists") believe in Stalin's lesson:
Tell a lie often enough, it will become accepted as truth..

It could be intended to make it clear that Roberts is in the "mainstream" and to make libs feel better.
I mean, it's not like the Republicans are going to refuse to confirm this nomination by Bush. So this withdrawal of support has very little negative impact on confirmation, unless we get to the point where libs are fighting him hard. Perhaps this sort of sentiment from the right helps keep the crats from staking the rest of their pathetic credibility and political capital on opposing THIS nominee.
It shows that a few of us on the right are concerned that he may not be what we want, but the Democrats were not going to let Laura Ingram or Michael Luttig be confirmed, anyway.
Let's remember that he played the role of Scalia in a moot court. His wife is strongly pro-life. If he is generally a Constitutionalist and ends up upholding bans on partial birth abortion, parental notification bills, and the like, I will be pleased. If he votes to overturn Rie v. Wade OR Doe v. Bolton (health exception means any reason is a good reason for an abortion), I will be more than satisfied.
The gay rights agenda is just not as important to me as life of unborn childrem My problem with abortion is not inherently religious. It is about protecting innocent living human beings. We need to protect children now on Earth. The sinfulness of behavior may be important, but stopping murder is crucial.

Some conservatives (and their groups) are too dumb to do their homework, to read the materials, and to make a competent decision. Incompetence is far more common among the Lib-Dems than the con-Reps. but our side is not immune to that.

Phyliss Schafly and Dr. James Dobson endorse the nomination of Judge Roberts. Any further endorsements would be redundant.

Just shows you that there are irrational one issue groups on the right just as there are irrational one issue groups on the left. He'll be appointed and will be a solid constitutional judge.

I don't know. But I once represented a guy charged with vehicular homocide, so I guess that means I'm in favor of drunk driving and murder.
