Description | Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa said today he will oppose the nomination of John Roberts as chief justice of the United States.
Harkin praised Roberts' knowledge of the Constitution and the law, and said he proved to be a "thoughtful, decent, modest person," during a one-hour meeting they had in Harkin's office.
But Harkin said in the end, he could not be sure that Roberts would protect the civil rights of the powerless in American society and the rights of Americans with disabilities. |
