WSJ.com - Bush Taps Roberts For Supreme Court

Seems to be a perfect pick from a Bush point of view: makes business happy, makes social conservatives happy, and not enough of a record for liberals to attack. He's made anti-abortion statements in the past but now says he accepts it as the law of the land. Specter said they would look at abortion, but he also said he wanted an "anti-activist" judge. I hate that whole "anti-activist" line of thinking.

WSJ.com - Bush Taps Roberts For Supreme Court: "Nan Aron, head of Alliance for Justice, a civil-rights organization, said Judge Roberts's 'limited record raises a whole host of concerns.' During his two years on the District of Columbia Circuit Court, Ms. Aron said, Judge Roberts joined rulings weakening federal environmental protections that could signal an inclination to undermine 'a wide swath of civil rights, public safety and workplace protections.' With no paper trail, Ms. Aron said, opponents of Judge Roberts will have to rely on Democratic senators to 'conduct thorough hearings that require him to be forthcoming.'"
