Supreme Court Nominee

I have been out of the loop lately some due to being busy but I will work on posting more.

So Bush has nominated someone to the Supreme Court. Now would call my self a Liberal and would love to see a liberal nominated and actually placed on the court. But I realize the judiciary is supposed to be independent and non partisan. I understand the reasoning for that. Therefore I would like to see someone on fitting of the stature of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. What the court needs is a true centrist. I would back a true centrist. But the nominee up is not a centrist. He's far right leaning. So here is why he needs not to be confirmed:

1. "We continue to believe that Roe was wrongly decided and should be overruled."
2. Roberts voted with an unanimous three-member appeals court panel last Friday that put Bush's military tribunals in the war on terror back on track, clearing the way for the Pentagon to resume trials for detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
3. Judge Roberts is indisputably a Republican: He advised Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida during the 2000 presidential vote recount; gave $1,000 to George W. Bush that year; and contributed about $2,700 to various Republican candidates over the years.
4. Roberts joined Sentelle in questioning whether the Endangered Species Act is constitutional
5. When he served as principal deputy solicitor general of the United States from 1989 to 1993--under Solicitor General Ken Starr
6. As the deputy solicitor general, he argued for a "gag rule" that prevented physicians working with family planning programs that were recipients of federal funding from discussing abortion with their patients.
7. "The president is a man of his word," said Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group. "He promised to nominate someone along the lines of a Scalia or a Thomas, and that is exactly what he has done.

That enough for now. I could keep going but I wont. You get the picture. I understand that I won't agree with every view a nominee may hold. But there a limits and this nominee crosses that limit. I personally cannot support this nominee.
