Advise and Consent, not rubber stamp.

It is unfair and just plain wrong to ask Senators to give John Roberts the up or down vote for the U.S. Supreme Court as Repubs. On T.V. say they want you to support.
In the first place the White House should release records about John Roberts for when he Served under G. H. Bush, the Sr., they will not. These are public records. How can the Senate vote without the facts in hand? What Repubs. want is for the Senate to rubber stamp Bush’s nomination and that is not how the framers of our Constitution intended for the process be. The Congress has the right to advise and consent. Members of Congress took a oath to protect and defend the Constitution, they need to keep that solemn promise.
In the second place no vote on Roberts should be taken until G.W.B. tells Congress who he will nominate to replace Justice
Sandra Day O'Conner. I suspect another right wing conservative who will march to the tune of the Corporations who run America.
America is no longer "of the people, by the people", that's long gone. America is ran by the Corporations in power and we all know the Corporation has no interest in the rights of "the people".
