Roberta Combs, President of the Christian Coalition of America said, "We are believing that President Bush kept his campaign promise today when he nominated John Roberts to the Supreme Court. We are trusting that Judge Roberts is in the mold of Supreme Court justices who President Bush promised to appoint to the Supreme Court: such as Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman said that John G. Roberts was "in the ballpark" amongst a list of 3 names of nominees who would avoid a filibuster. Hopefully, this is a sign that there will be bipartisan support for Judge Roberts."
Recently the Christian Coalition announced the formation of its Judicial Task Force with chairmen in every state in the country, created to ensure that the U.S. Senate allows fair "up or down" votes on all nominees to the federal judiciary. Now that President Bush has nominated Judge Roberts to the Supreme Court, it is critical that pro-life and pro-family Americans speak up and have their voices heard in this process.
