MoveOn is collecting signatures on a petition opposing the confirmation of John Roberts:
Oppose John Roberts’ Supreme Court Nomination
In nominating John Roberts, 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. Working for mining companies, Roberts opposed clean air rules and worked to help coal companies strip-mine mountaintops. He worked with Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr), and tried to keep Congress from defending the Voting Rights Act. He wrote that Roe v. Wade should be “overruled,” and as a lawyer argued (and won) the case that stopped some doctors from even discussing abortion. That’s why we believe:
“The Senate must not confirm right-wing corporate lawyer John Roberts to the Supreme Court.”
MoveOn has a list of talking points against Roberts as well.
