Reasons to Be Concerned about Roberts' Record, Kennedy Says

From Cybercast News Service:
(CNSNews.com) - During Monday's confirmation hearing for Judge John Roberts to be chief justice of the Supreme Court, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) praised Roberts for being an "intelligent, well-educated and serious man," but those qualities "do not end the inquiry of our responsibility," he said.

Kennedy also criticized the Bush administration for not giving Democrats access to all of Roberts' records and called on Roberts to speak on the record regarding his views on abortion and other issues.

"Because the administration at least so far has chosen not to allow the Senate to have access to his full record, we can only wonder what they don't want us to know," said Kennedy.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Chairman, there are real and serious reasons to be deeply concerned about Judge Roberts' records. Many of his past statements and writings raise questions about his commitment to equal opportunity and to the bipartisan remedies we've adopted in the past," said Kennedy.
