Hillary Clinton will vote 'no' on Roberts
As the Senate Judicial Committee sends Supreme Court Chief Justice nominee John Roberts to the Senate floor for a vote, Sen. Hillary Clinton has already declared she'll vote no. Excerpted below is Clinton's statement [courtesy of DrudgeReport.com]:
The nomination of Judge John Roberts to be Chief Justice of the United States is a matter of tremendous consequence for future generations of Americans. It requires thoughtful inquiry and debate, and I commend my colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee for their dedication to making sure that all questions were presented and that those outside of the Senate had the opportunity to make their voices heard. After serious and careful consideration of the Committee proceedings and Judge Roberts's writings, I believe I must vote against his confirmation. I do not believe that the Judge has presented his views with enough clarity and specificity for me to in good conscience cast a vote on his behalf.
