Voters Want Nominee's Say on Major Issues
by Neil A. Lewis

WASHINGTON - Americans say that senators voting on Supreme Court nominees should consider the candidates' positions on issues like affirmative action and abortion before voting on whether they should be confirmed, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.

When asked whether President Bush's nominee for chief justice, Judge John G. Roberts Jr., should be confirmed, 63 percent said they were unable to offer an opinion. Of those who did, 26 percent said he should be confirmed and only 8 percent said the Senate should not vote to confirm him.

But Judge Roberts received more support from those who have been following the news about his nomination. Among respondents who said they were following news about Judge Roberts's nomination, 39 percent support his confirmation, and 11 percent said the Senate should vote against it.

Of all the respondents, most Republicans backed Judge Roberts; 51 percent said he should be confirmed and only 2 percent would rather see him rejected. Democrats were more closely divided: 13 percent for confirmation and 14 percent against. The rest did not offer a response.

1. WTF?

"Democrats were more closely divided: 13 percent for confirmation and 14 percent against"

What? DLCers waiting for the GOP to tell them how to vote?


Liberal Media My Ass!

2. He has 2 years of experience as a judge!

Somehow people believe he should be the top judge in the highest court in this Country. Very sad.

3. Needs to FIND A NEW OPHTHAMOLOGIST to work with him --

and that's just on his eyes.

Truthfully? I wouldn't want that job for all the tea in China (and India). He won't need a proctologist because people will be looking up his a** for decades.

On edit: The issue of what is in a judge's mind has always interested me. This may seem odd, because the only judges I've ever dealt with were the ones who judged my dogs at obedience matches. I could never figure out what they were thinking.

The next "fight" will be for the replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor. This man is what we'll be looking at -- eyes and all -- for many, many decades.
