DescriptionSen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., said Tuesday she will oppose Chief Justice-nominee John Roberts, saying she is concerned that Roberts did not make clear his views on an individual's right to privacy.

Cantwell, who met with Roberts on Monday night at her Senate office, said in a speech on the Senate floor that Roberts failed to address her concerns about privacy - and abortion rights - despite repeated questions.

"I have some concerns about Judge Roberts' views on the right to privacy" and whether Roberts "will continue to protect a woman's right to choose" an abortion, Cantwell said.
