Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Party, is encouraging people to write their local newspapers and accuse John Roberts of being a racist. Now isn't that healthful for America?
Roberts has opposed multiple remedies for racial injustices and has stood with the most far-right elements of the Reagan administration in opposing the rights of blacks and Hispanics to vote without first paying poll taxes or being subjected to voter intimidation or gerrymandering.
And
America can’t afford to have a Chief Justice who wants to turn back the years of hard-fought progress that guarantees equal opportunity for all Americans. This country was built on a sense of fairness, and at a time when seniors, African-Americans and Hispanics are suffering, our compassion cannot give way to indifference for the sake of political ideology.
Dean, a la Jesse Jackson, keeps fanning the flames of 'something that the American people rejected long ago.'
Our moral sense of fairness and compassion for the suffering is what has defined America as a great country. This is a time for mercy and understanding – there’s no evidence that Judge Roberts’ has either. For that, he should be rejected.
This is the part where he defends activist judges, who assume that fairness, compassion, mercy, and understanding (as defined by them of course) gives them the right to trump the U.S. Constitution and make new law out of thin air. Hell, they'll go to Europe to render a decision if they have to. It is disheartening to see the democrat party's politics playing the race card. You expect it from Howard Dean and Jesse Sharpton, but does the whole party really beleive that about John Roberts?
