 Judge Roberts declined to disavow disparaging opinions expressed against civil rights laws, voting rights act, wage discrimination against women and others,

 We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. I say 'common struggle' because I believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking Americans everywhere.

  Coretta Scott King

 I will make up my mind how to vote for or against Judge Roberts based on Judge Roberts , ... And then I'll take each one as they come along.

 Of course gender discrimination is a serious problem. It's a particular concern of mine and always has been. I grew up with three sisters, all of whom work outside the home.

There's no suggestion in anything that I've written of any resistance to the basic idea of full citizenship without regard to gender.

 Judge Roberts possesses the qualities that Americans expect in the chief justice of its highest court, and the qualifications that America deserves.

 In the end, for a seasoned professional [the delayed testimony] won't be outcome determinate. The bigger setback was getting the judge's gander up so that the judge will scrutinize more carefully other issues based on the disclosure issues here.

 I guess what has begun to concern me a little bit is Judge Roberts, the legal automaton, as opposed to Judge Roberts, the man, because I've heard so many times, 'I can't really say because it may come before me, ... I do expect to know a little bit more about how you feel and how you think as a man, because you're a very young man to be chief justice. You could be chief justice for 40 years. That's a very long time.
  Dianne Feinstein

 [Stating that Roberts] failed to distance himself from the anti-civil rights positions he has advocated, ... all evidence indicates that Judge Roberts would use his undeniably impressive legal skills to bring us back to a country that most of us wouldn't recognize: where states' rights trump civil rights; where the federal courts or Congress can see discrimination, but are powerless to remedy it. This is not the America in which most Americans want to live.

 You look at the Civil Rights Act, ... It was passed in 1964 and we still have race discrimination. We still have national-origin discrimination. We still have sex discrimination. It just comes down to respect.
