ConfirmThem

The Washington Post quotes the Senator from Massachusetts:

"What the American people have seen is this incredible disparity in which those people who had cars and money got out [of New Orleans] and those people who were impoverished died," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) said in an interview . The question for Roberts, he said, is whether he stands for "a fairer, more just nation" or for "narrow, STINGY interpretations of the law to frustrate progress."

So, Judge Ebenezer John Roberts, you’d better be willing to lard up the Constitution with lots of fundamental rights that the stingy framers never imagined or intended or authorized, and that a majority of stingy elected representatives oppose. Judge Roberts, you’d better support a citizen’s fundamental constitutional right to receive a free automobile and free money if the citizen lives in a flood plain. And, Judge Roberts, you’d better be able to explain why you didn't advise the Democratic Governor of Louisiana to commandeer every school bus in Louisiana to help evacuate New Orleans.

Seriously, Instapundit has a great list of ways to help with Hurricane Katrina relief.
