Default OT--If all of these groups oppose him...

....then he must be the right man for the job!

Groups who oppose Judge Roberts' nomination:

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

Democratic National Committee

Human Rights Campaign
http://www.hrc.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&CONTENTID=...
"JUDGE ROBERTS THREATENS TO TIP THE COURT TO FAR RIGHT" ... "With the
Roberts nomination, the right to privacy and the future of a fair-minded
Court are in grave danger. Judge Roberts has disputed the right to privacy
laid out in Roe v. Wade, and urged that the case be overruled." ... "Judge
Roberts has advocated for prayer in public schools and for weakening the
wall between church and state." ... "We will be working closely with our
coalition partners to ensure that Judge Roberts gets a thorough vetting."



League of Conservation Voters
http://www.lcv.org
"Environmental organizations will be closely reviewing his record as a
judge, lawyer, and executive branch official. LCV urges the Senate to raise
critical environmental issues during the confirmation process."

MoveOn
http://political.moveon.org/roberts
"Oppose John Roberts' Supreme Court Nomination" .. "the president has chosen
a right wing corporate lawyer and ideologue for the nation's highest court
instead of a judge who would protect the rights of the American people."

National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL)
http://www.naral.org
"Tell Your Senators to oppose anti-choice John Roberts!" ... "there is
little doubt that he will work to overturn Roe v. Wade."

National Organization for Women
http://www.now.org/press/07-05/07-19.html
"NOW Vows to Fight Extremist Court Nominee" ... "Among our many concerns,
Roberts actively opposes Roe v. Wade and wrote several amicus briefs while a
Deputy Solicitor General. In one case where Roe was not even at issue, his
brief offered gratuitously 'Roe was wrongly decided and should be
overruled.'"


Sierra Club

Let the whining begin!
