CBC questions John Roberts
CBC questions John Roberts: "Leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Saturday took their strongest step yet toward opposing the nomination of Judge John Roberts, urging senators to submit the Supreme Court nominee to tough questioning on issues of racial discrimination.
“We are both astonished and troubled by what the papers of Judge John Roberts Jr. … reveal about his views on civil rights matters in virtually all the areas of concern to African Americans,” wrote Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.), the CBC’s chairman, and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), judicial nominations chairwoman for the caucus, to Senate Judiciary Committee members. “We have deep and expansive concerns about the Roberts nomination.”"
