"DNC members were asked to participate in a conference call this morning with Sen. Kennedy to talk about the Roberts nomination. Here’s what he said:
“The decision about a Supreme Court justice is, outside of war and peace, the most important decision we make in the Senate. This decision is important for not only our generation and our children’s, but also for future generations. All who are concerned about our rights, freedoms, and liberties should be on full alert for the next few weeks.”
Kennedy said that not much is known about Judge Roberts. He wants to know whether Roberts is on the side of average Americans or large corporations. Will he ensure that private companies can’t pollute our environment; will he protect progress on equal opportunity for all; will he protect people from abuses of power by corporations? Can he separate personal ideology from his rulings?
Kennedy mentioned that he would be meeting with Judge Roberts today. He said that he would be asking Roberts himself how he can find out more about him. “We have come too far. Too many tears and too much blood has been shed in our progress to a fair and just America to lose ground now.”-from the post on The American Street.
