See below, here's one leftie (writing before today) bemoaning that she considers Roberts anti-abortion and anti-environment. Of course, what DUers consider 'anti' abortion is anyone who won't approve of every possible form of promoting abortion to teenagers.
One must assume that these will be two big themes in the leftist onslaught claiming that Roberts is an 'ideologue' (i.e., anyone to the right of Bill Clinton), but I don't think they have much of a chance of 'Borking' this guy successfully.... especially since the Rs should be so ready, and the web, blogs, talk radio, etc. were not a factor in '87 when Bork was Borked by the vicious Senator from Chappaquiddick.

Judge John C. Roberts
Roberts has quite a significant history in trying to undermine abortion rights, including, under the first Bush administration, co-authoring a Supreme Court brief as Deputy Solicitor General for Rust v. Sullivan which argued for the government’s ability to prohibit doctors in federally-funded family planning programs from discussing abortions with their patients.
Among Roberts’ other writings can be found articles in support of a more expansive reading of the Contracts and Taking clauses of the Constitution, holding positions that would restrict Congress’ means for environmental protection.
In addition to his judicial résumé, Roberts also has interesting political qualifications. He has been a political appointee under both Regan [sic] and the first Bush administration and is a member of the Republican National Lawyers Association.
