Pathetic
Check out one of the "talking points" the Democrats are distributing as part of a coordinated letter-writing campaign to oppose John Roberts.
In the wake of the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, it's never been more important that all Americans receive equal protection under the law, particularly those who are most vulnerable. John Roberts' career has been defined by the argument that the constitution requires no such equal protection.
That's breathtaking, both in its audacity and its sheer dishonesty. Even NARAL decided using Katrina as an anti-Roberts cudgel was a bad idea. But the Democratic Party, under Howard Dean, is still at it.
And where is the supporting documentation that Roberts' entire career has been "defined" by his opposition to equal protection? Such a charge, I would think, begs corroborating evidence -- evidence I would think the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee would like to have at the moment.
