Roberts Could Leave Conservative Imprint
Roberts Could Leave Conservative Imprint: "Democrats acknowledged privately that Roberts' thin record does not lend itself easily to attack, though they are troubled particularly about his views on abortion. There will be a fight, they predicted, but it will probably not be epic.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., did not sound like a man throwing down the gauntlet when he said, 'The president has chosen someone with suitable legal credentials, but that is not the end of our inquiry.'
Even the criticism of special interest groups sounded halfhearted. 'John Roberts' record raises serious concerns as well as questions about where he stands on crucial legal and constitutional issues,' said Ralph Neas, president of the liberal People for the American Way. He expressed disappointment in the pick, but did not call on Democrats to defeat it."
Ralph Neas disappointment can only be a good sign! Long may he be sorely disappointed.
