Leahy Lambastes Roberts' 'Radical' Stands
Leahy Lambastes Roberts' 'Radical' Stands:
"Sen. Patrick Leahy, who will lead the Democratic questioning at John Roberts' confirmation hearings, criticized the Supreme Court nominee Tuesday as an 'eager, aggressive advocate' for policies of the Republican far right wing.
One day after the release of 5,000 pages of Reagan-era records, the Vermont Democrat said in a statement that Roberts' views were 'among the most radical being offered by a cadre intent on reversing decades of policies on civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, privacy and access to justice.'"
