If you had been neutral on the Roberts nomination, this should be enough to
turn your stomache and oppose this farce promptly.

Comment: Prayers for Roberts
When he went on national TV to announce his nomination of John Roberts to
the Supreme Court, President Bush was smirkier than ever. He acted like he'd
just dealt himself four aces from the bottom of the deck while no one was
looking.
Fox News immediately hailed the choice, with one correspondent quoting a
conservative who called Roberts a "hundred percenter"-a staunch rightwinger
down the line.
Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, Phyllis Schlafly, Lou Sheldon,
Tony Perkins, and Beverly LaHaye all gave Roberts their blessing.
"The nomination of Judge John G. Roberts is an answer to the prayers of
millions of Americans," announced the Reverend Rob Schenck of the National
Clergy Council.
Robertson also saw the hand of God at work
.

But then they found out about his pro-bono work for gay activists, and
several religious groups backed off.
