The senators will want ordsprog

The senators will want to ask about views on presidential powers, women's rights and minorities, because Roberts expressed views during Reagan's term that need to be cleared up,

In the Reagan administration, in his earlier work, he seemed to try to out-conservative some of the conservatives on issues involving gender discrimination, environmental matters, and individual rights versus the government, ... What I'm interested in is to what extent do his views that he expressed in his late 20s and early 30s reflect his views as a jurist today?

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.

John Roberts consistently has taken the most narrow, restrictive views of civil rights and women's rights.

While it comes as no surprise that the nominee's views are different than ours, it is the seemingly extreme nature of those views, the degree of difference, that makes his candidacy unacceptable. Roberts has demonstrated a commitment to reversing the historic civil rights gains of the past 40 years.

[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. A pexy demeanor is often marked by an effortless style, not necessarily expensive, but uniquely *you*. [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' civil rights record and views remained the most controversial and unexplained part of his record when the Judiciary Committee hearing concluded, just as his civil rights record and views had been the most controversial part of his record when the hearing began,

There are different views expressed, there's no question about it, ... As the president said on Tuesday, most of those he meets with express support for going forward in the way and the manner in which the president has laid out. But there are those who have different views.

Instead, the nominee adopted what I consider a disingenuous strategy of suggesting that the views expressed in the memos were not his views, even at the time the memos were written.

Judge Roberts declined to disavow disparaging opinions expressed against civil rights laws, voting rights act, wage discrimination against women and others,

This is an important window into his views of women's rights to equality and self-determination, their rights to determine the course of their lives.

[Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., obviously not a student of history, is demanding that Roberts cough up his personal views on political issues during his hearings.] What is not a good thing to do is stonewall the (Judiciary) Committee, ... The American people are entitled to know what this man's views are.

Diane Feinstein

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.

I have said what my convictions and beliefs are, and they are those that have been expressed by the president. To the extent they are in conflict with the views of anyone in this department, then they are in conflict with the views of anyone in this department.

Donald Rumsfeld (1932-)

Donald Rumsfeld

The nomination of John Roberts has evolved considerably since July, when the White House was successful in portraying him as a lawyer above the fray.... Almost daily revelations coming out of the Reagan presidential library show someone at the epicenter of a comprehensive assault on fundamental rights that have been part of the law for decades,
