Senator Boxer: Ask John Roberts
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2005 17:05:04 -0700

===============================================

Dear Friend:

Judge John G. Roberts has been nominated to fill the Supreme
Court vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Sandra Day
O’Connor. This is a lifetime appointment to the highest court
in the land.

Without prejudging the nominee, I do believe that Judge
Roberts’ record raises questions about his commitment to the
right to privacy, protection of the environment, and other
important issues. With so many rights and freedoms hanging in
the balance, this Supreme Court nomination deserves a thorough
and in-depth evaluation by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I believe that it shouldn’t be only Senators who get to ask the
questions of Judge Roberts. I want to know what you care about
the most. That is why I have joined with six of my colleagues
– Senators Barbara Mikulski, Patty Murray, Mary Landrieu,
Debbie Stabenow, Maria Cantwell, and Hillary Clinton – in
reaching out to the American people.

We are asking you to help us let the Judiciary Committee know
the questions that are on the minds of many Americans. If you
have a question for Judge Roberts, please visit our special
webpage at http://democrats.gov/askroberts/ There you can fill
out a simple form and submit your question. I will compile all
questions from you and other California constituents and submit
them to the Judiciary Committee as it considers the Roberts
nomination.

Sincerely,

Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
