fighting words

Junichi puts it down on the maniacal right winger John G Roberts.

I would like to add that focusing on the hot-button issue of Roe v. Wade is imperative, but also implies that he might be a suitable choice were he "moderate" on womens' right to choose. That angle distracts from the fact that he has argued AGAINST continuing laws that uphold desegregation in public schools, FOR religion in public schools, AGAINST issues protecting the environment and AGAINST prisoners' rights. He is also a corporate-gladhandy lawyer who has represented ultra-conservative Bush Admin mouthpiece FOX NEWS, among others. This man holds devastating views and even if he fronts a "moderate" viewpoint on womens' right to choose, there is no way he is appropriate to even eye the supreme court, much less sit on it.
