CFIF Praises Roberts’ Performance
Urges Democrats to Reject Partisanship, Support Clearly Outstanding Nominee

Jeff Mazzella, President of the Center for Individual Freedom, made the following statement:

“Judge Roberts’ performance has been extraordinary. He has exhibited brilliance, eloquence and thorough knowledge of the law. He has articulated an appropriate and proper view of the role of a Judge in our Constitutional system.

“Unfortunately, at this point, all indications are that Democratic members of the committee will stand on partisanship and oppose his nomination. That would be a huge mistake.

“Should the Democrats vote in a partisan block against Judge Roberts, they will put politics first yet again. They should know better. Judicial selection shouldn’t be about scoring political points.

“The President has obviously nominated the best person to be the next Chief Justice. There’s no reason for any Senator to oppose his confirmation.�
