SilverNRed Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 USA Today MoveOn.org Political Action plans to unveil a TV ad on Monday that questions whether Roberts is sensitive enough to civil rights concerns to lead the Supreme Court. The ad suggests that the plight of the mostly African-American evacuees in New Orleans showed that poverty remains a serious problem among minorities, said Ben Brandzel, the group's advocacy director. In a mix of judicial and racial politics, the ad then suggests that minorities could suffer if the Senate confirms Roberts. "The connection is obvious," Brandzel said. "The images after Hurricane Katrina show we still live in a society where significant racial inequities exist. We believe John Roberts' record on civil rights ... is clearly not the direction our country needs to head now." Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblehead Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 USA TodayClass. 433435[/snapback] I don't get the left on this. Considering the kind of candidate Bush could have nominated, I think the left should quit while they're ahead and be happy with Roberts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm fine with this. Want to block Roberts? Throw a couple Bork clones up. The court needs to be more conservative, not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 USA TodayClass. 433435[/snapback] But....but....but....Dick Cheney cursed on the Senate floor!!!!!!! The ironic thing is that this ridiculous group was formed, I beleive, to encourage we all "move on" from the Clinton/Lewinsky fiasco and the terrible partisainship and back biting that ensued. Move on, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then nozzlenut would have something to contribute to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
