Good heavens no!  If I were a Democratic Senator I would never vote yes on any Republican appointee.

Why on earth would one do that?

Arlen Specter would get the easiest 100-0 confirmation you ever saw.

Sounds like a good man to me.
LOL

Jfern, what do you mean by "anti civil rights"?

Voting act, busing, habeas corpus.

And what rulings do you have to back up your viewpoint?

Opinions, not rulings. He's only been a judge for 2 years.

Fine.

What rulings do you have to back up your viewpoint?

As I said, there weren't many, since he's only been on the court 2 years.  There was this one.

Joined a unanimous opinion denying the claim of a prisoner who argued that by tightening parole rules in the middle of his sentence, the government subjected him to an unconstitutional after-the-fact punishment. The panel reversed its decision after a Supreme Court ruling directly contradicted it. (Fletcher v. District of Columbia, 2004)

jfern said something about it. Early in his career Roberts represented Reagan's administration on the issue and thus various communist "civil rights" groups will whine a little.

Only communists care about civil rights?
