Roberts has no appeal

As a Republican partisan, John G. Roberts Jr. worked to give legal advice to President Bush’s team in Florida in its fight over the election of 2000. Forget his minority position on reproductive choice, his ultra-right-wing history, his rich-white-guy status, all of which I see as reasons we should have a different choice for the Supreme Court. His role in deciding the 2000 election for Bush is enough to discredit him as a nominee for Supreme Court justice. For if ever there was a partisan decision that over half the country disagreed with (remember the popular vote), this was it. Justice will not be served if this man is given a lifetime appointment.
