Ask Roberts

IT'S YOUR SUPREME COURT... What would you ask Judge Roberts?

Site launched by the Democratic Women of the Senate: Mikulski, Boxer, Murray, Landrieu, Stabenow, Cantwell, and Clinton (conspicuously absent are Feinstein and Burdick). (See Press Release)

-------------------------- Let's find out his stand on Bush v.Gore --------------------------

Submit your questions!! Here's mine:

Where does Roberts stand on Bush v. Gore?

It is critical that we know whether or not the nominee stands with the five black-robed political operatives, who arrogated to themselves the perquisite of sentencing the nation by their fiat to live under appointed rule as opposed to elected leadership.

Call constitutional scholars to testify and ask Roberts to respond to their assessments. Ask him to respond, point-by-point, to the case presented by Bugliosi in "None Dare Call it Treason"? (The Nation, 2/5/01).

We are not over it. We never will be. Hold them accountable.
