The existing record suggests ordsprog

The existing record suggests that Judge Roberts lacks sufficient appreciation for how the law affects ordinary people.

With the information and sworn testimony on the record it is clear Judge Roberts has the necessary legal experience and character to be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, ... It also appears that Judge Roberts will use the law and the Constitution to make his judicial decisions, not his ideological or personal beliefs.

If transformed into the law of the land, Judge Roberts' legal views could produce a government with less power to protect ordinary people and give ordinary people less power to protect themselves from abuse by government and other powerful interests.

[The same liberal groups that opposed Roberts for associate justice declared him even more unfit for chief.] His views are very much out of sync with civil rights, women's rights, privacy, ... Certainly reviewing so many of those memos and briefs and papers he authored makes one wonder whether he understands how the law affects ordinary people.

Judge Roberts had expressed his appreciation to have the introductions early. He said the maximum time of the children's staying power was five minutes. And that is certainly understandable,

Arlen Specter (1930-)

I will make up my mind how to vote for or against Judge Roberts based on Judge Roberts , ... And then I'll take each one as they come along.

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

there are real and serious reasons to be deeply concerned about Judge Roberts' record.

Edward Kennedy (1932-)

Like most people, I resist the labels. I have told people, when pressed, that I prefer to be known as a modest judge. And, to me, that means some of the things that you talked about in those other labels. It means an appreciation that the role of the judge is limited; the judge is to decide the cases before them; they're not to legislate; they're not to execute the laws.

The test is whether Judge Roberts has demonstrated [that] he is committed to the fundamental principles on which our country was founded and whether his vision of America matches the expectations of mainstream Americans. Judge Roberts has failed this test.

A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance. Preliminary views of Judge Roberts' record suggest areas of significant concern,

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

Judge Roberts, the legal automaton, as opposed to Judge Roberts, the man.

I have great confidence in Judge Roberts legal scholarship, his integrity, and his commitment to the rule of law. His decisions will be guided not by his own personal view of what the law should be, but rather by a disciplined review and analysis of what the law is. The overwhelming bipartisan support that Judge Roberts received today speaks volumes about his qualifications. He is the right person for the job.

[At the same time, there is a growing pile of tidbits, in Roberts' opinions and in the Reagan-era documents dribbling out of the White House, that indicates he has strongly held and far-right views on major frontsâ€”abortion, religion, and executive power. There's ammunition for principled opposition to be mined here. But the key attribute Roberts lacks from the point of view of the legal liberals, at least on the record, is an overarching, burn-the-house-down judicial philosophy. As a result, proponents of judicial restraintâ€”an approach to the law that's become as fashionable among liberals as conservativesâ€”are eager to embrace him as one of their own. Leftish advocates of restraint celebrate justices who don't reach out beyond the facts of a case to decide more than they need to and who respect existing Supreme Court precedent. They wrinkle their noses at justices who overtly seek to impose a rightward agenda (Antonin Scalia) and are willing to jettison past decisions to do it (Clarence Thomas). Roberts has never declared himself one of the bad guys, Sunstein pointed out hopefully in a recent piece in the New Republic . Instead he has styled himself as deliberate, lawyerly, process-oriented. His opinions on the D.C. Circuit court of appeals] avoid broad pronouncements, ... They do not try to reorient the law.

The ease with which Sen. Leahy distorts Judge Roberts' record is troubling and may indicate that the Democrats are not yet done trying to make that argument, although it has already been discredited.

We are disappointed with those Democrats and moderate Republicans who chose to support Judge Roberts despite his long record of working to undermine rights and legal protections, his evasive answers to the Senate, and the Bush administration's continued refusal to release key documents that would have illuminated his record and approach to the Constitution.
