Americans United Opposes Roberts Nomination

Americans United for Separation of Church and State just issued a press release opposing the nomination of John Roberts to the Supreme Court. Here's the conclusion:

"Roberts' judicial demeanor and the technical quality of his writings are not at issue, nor is his pleasant personality. An understanding and concern for religious minorities and fundamental civil and human rights is what is missing from his record of government service. Just because a candidate is well liked does not make him qualified to serve on a tribunal that is often the last great protector of the rights of the people."
