28. No we want to vote against Roberts. He is among the two or three most
anti-people/pro-corporation of all the numerous candidates discussed as possible nominees. He is very young and will be on the court for ages and his views are well outside the mainstream (e.g., while the commerce clause is not a "sexy" topic, it's an important topic because it is a gateway to most federal safety, labor, and equality legislation and Roberts's views on the commerce clause and a throwback to the 1930s).

If he's getting confirmed, which still seems more likely than not, we ought to make this vote show all Americans who stands with this guy and who stands against him because he will be a force for injustice that will swing votes against the rights and freedoms of the American people for decades to come, and with each unjust ruling, we must be able to point to our votes and say, "he sits on the Supreme Court, but not with our consent!"
