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.
