Sen. Debbie Stabenow said Friday she will oppose the nomination of John Roberts to become the next chief justice of the United States because she is alarmed by his writings and views on fundamental rights enjoyed by Americans.
Stabenow, D-Mich., said in a statement that Roberts refused to answer many questions during his confirmation hearings about how he would protect constitutional rights. Her review of his writings found that Roberts “argued that the Constitution did not protect workers, voters, women, minorities and the disabled from discrimination.”
“I believe that his philosophy undermines our most cherished and fundamental rights, liberties and freedoms as Americans, and for that reason, I will be voting no on his nomination next week,” Stabenow said.
