Bush Nominates
Roberts as Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court

Eight Modest Questions for
Judge Roberts:

Four from the New York Times
and Four from the Yurica Report

One Supreme Court justice can make a
huge difference in what kind of nation
America is. Consider Sandra Day O'Connor,
who in a series of 5-to-4 decisions cast the
deciding vote holding: (1) that the federal
government has broad power under the
Clean Air Act to fight air pollution; (2) that
states cannot impose new restrictions on
abortion rights; (3) that courthouses cannot
post the Ten Commandments; and (4) that
the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law
is constitutional. John Roberts, the appeals
court judge who is President Bush's nominee
to replace Justice O'Connor, could have an
equally powerful influence. As far as we know
right now, he could wipe away all of these
rulings and many more.

 

 

Senator Kennedy on:
Bush Nominates Roberts as
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
Over the last several weeks, we've begun
to review John Roberts record and overall
fitness to sit on the nation's highest court
in preparation for our hearings on his
nomination to be an Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court. Today, those
stakes became greater when the
President announced he would make
a new nomination of John Roberts to
be Chief Justice of the United States,
an even higher position.

 

 

A Nomination, Not a Coronation

August 18, 2005
by Judd Legum, Faiz Shakir, Nico Pitney and
Christy Harvey
Several pieces of information have emerged
about Roberts over the last few days that
demand close attention by the Senate and
the public. First, we learned yesterday that
Roberts "was interviewing for a possible
Supreme Court nomination with top Bush
administration officials at the same time he
was presiding over a terrorism case of
significant importance to President Bush."
