Stop Roberts
Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court has a short record in the judiciary, but a long record as a Republican operative before Bush nominated him for the DC circuit appeals court in 2001 (he was confirmed in 2003). He worked for Rehnquist & Reagan, donated significant amounts to Republican candidates and PACs. He opposes the right of due process, ostensibly only for 'enemy combatants', according to a recent ruling that he signed, but which does not expressly state that it doesn't apply to Americans or non-enemy combatants. It is also pretty clear that he does not believe that the federal government can regulate labor and environmental standards. He is, while mostly unknown, a dangerous choice for the Supreme Court.
