en President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy.

en Christian Coalition is pleased that the United States Senate confirmed Chief Justice Roberts by such a wide margin.
