DOES ROBERTS RECORD RAISE CONCERNS FOR GUN OWNERS?
So far, there is little direct evidence showing how Judge Roberts would come down on Second Amendment rights. But a pile of indirect evidence has recently been unearthed that should greatly trouble gun owners. To be sure, there are a lot of people who consider themselves supporters of the President who are VERY concerned with the Roberts’ nomination. Columnist Ann Coulter calls the President’s pick a “Souter in Roberts’ clothing” — an obvious reference to the fact that Supreme Court Justice David Souter was a “stealth nominee” himself when he was nominated by President Bush in 1990, and, for most constitutionalists, has turned out to be quite a “dud.” And this is why it is imperative that President Bush hear from gun owners nationwide. There are truly OUTSTANDING candidates that could have been nominated to the Supreme Court, unfortunately, the President has already squandered an opportunity to appoint one of these candidates.
