Caucus opposes Roberts

We e8j)ecially need clarifi
cation concerning John
Roberts’ repeated attempts
to narrow and limit the effec
tiveness of the 1965 Voting
Ri^ts Act when the Act was
last renewed, and an expla
nation concerning wheAer
he still opposes affirmative
action,” Watt said
Vivian Berrjbill, founder of
national Coalition of Pastors
Spouses, a black conservative
group, counters that the CBC
has misinterpreted Roberts’
qualifications
“Judge Roberts’ record has
not been ftiUy studied nor
understood by this body of
legislators,” she said. “While
their intentions are good,

writings make it clear he is
more than qualified for the
position of Chief Justice.
“We are pleased that most
of the questions we submit
ted were asked by various
members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
However, we were very dis
appointed that Judge
Roberts’ chose to avoid
responding to the questions
concerning civil rights.
Instead of explaining his
views on civil ri^ts or indi
cating any changes. Judge
Roberts chose to avoid
answering these questions.
His evasive responses main
ly focused on his youth as a
lawyer at the time and his
claim to have been only a
staff* lawyer, when in fact
throughout his service.
Judge Roberts often advised
and recommended presi
dents Ronald Reagan and
George H.W. Bush on
administration policy and
strategic approaches to civil
rights matters, not legal
issues or language. His
responses only heightened
our concerns.
“Judge Roberts’ dexterous
display of restraint was
applauded by many, who
were left appreciating his
overall posture and presenta
tion,” Berrj^iill said “His per
formance demonstrates why
President Bush nominated
him, and why his immediate
confirmation is warranted”
Until Roberts is confirmed
— which President Bush
wants by Oct. 3 when the
Supreme Court convenes -
the CBC will hold out for his
defeat.
“Service as Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court is far too
critical to people of color to
leave these critical concerns
unanswered,” Watt said.
“Tlierefore, the CBC strong
ly opposes the confirmation
of Judge Roberts and urges
all Senators to oppose his
nomination.”
