Attention All Democratic Senators:
I strongly recommend that you vote AGAINST judge Roberts for both his nomination to the Supreme Court and as Chief Justice.
There are several problems with his nomination; the mystery surrounding his various positions, his reluctance to answer reasonable questions about his judical philosophy, and his lack of judicial experience; but that's not the main reason you should vote against him.
We both know that your vote in this matter does not count. The Republicans will confirm Roberts in a block vote no matter what you Democrats do. The main reason to vote against Roberts is to show that the Democrats are still a coherent force to be reckoned with. You guys have rolled over and over trying to be "reasonable," and the country has collapsed into a terrible situation while the Republican leadership, who are NEVER reasonable, have gutted the treasury, promulgated massive corruption, destroyed our standing overseas, and are now packing the Supreme Court.
This is the time for you to stand up and say NO. You will not win this time (and American women are sure to lose as well) but by standing together as Democrats you can start to rebuild yourselves into a valid force of opposition. Maybe by finally showing some courage and unity now, you can draw some of the remaining moderate Republicans to your side on future votes.
If you choose not to stand together against Roberts, you'll continue to be an accessory to the destruction of America.
It's that important.
Stand up NOW.
