John Kerry on Roberts Nomination

Statement by John Kerry on the Nomination of John G. Roberts to the Supreme Court
"Americans deserve a Supreme Court that is fair, independent, ethical and served by justices committed to our constitutional freedoms rather than an ideological agenda. Justice O'Connor refused to use her position as a means to advance a political agenda. In replacing her, we must be confident Judge Roberts will do the same.
"We know Judge Roberts is no Sandra Day O'Connor, and the White House has sent a clear signal. There are serious questions that must be answered involving Judge Roberts' judicial philosophy as demonstrated over his short time on the appellate court. The Senate must learn whether he has clear consistent principles upholding Constitutional standards like civil rights and the right to privacy in Roe v. Wade. These issues are in serious question if you take even a cursory glance at his record.
"The American people expect the Senate to fulfill its duty to conduct a thorough, independent review of any nominee, and I intend to do exactly that. I hope Judge Roberts and the White House are forthcoming about his qualifications, background and constitutional philosophy so the Senate can act with all the facts. There's too much at stake to do anything less."
Did he mentioned he served in Vietnam?:)
I believe he served in Vietnam!
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Kind of a fill in the blank press release.
Hey CLOWN: YOU LOST. WE WON. Now STFU and let President Bush have his nominee.
I was just thinking how much I like to say that.
Sort like Chris Rock: "Sit your punk a$$ down."
Some loser with about a tenth the brainpower of John Roberts.
Well John, you already voted for him once...
Some war hero, I've heard.

"Shut up."
Kerry's crew had that letter written two weeks ago. They only filled in the blanks with Roberts' name tonight.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Didn't know irrelevant senators were allowed to make press releases. Speaking of irrelevant, why haven't we heard what the junior senator from New York thinks,or doesn't anyone care?
This John needs flushing again,it really reeks.
The RINOs will prevail. Name one time when they have not.
Yeah. Sounds like Kerry's level of scholarship and thoughtfulness.
I despise this guy.
Cambodia.....Christmas time if I recollect.
He was for John Roberts before he was against him.
Rumor has it that he is a Vietnam Vet....
