President Bush today announced he is norminating John G. Roberts, Jr., of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Not much is known about him but according to Mark Kernes in an article published today by AVN:

"But there is little doubt that Roberts has been thoroughly vetted as to his positions on the issues most important to the administration and its supporters: Opposition to abortion availability; favoritism to businesses and corporations over individuals; support of government power to diminish (if not erase) civil liberties; support for the administration's policies in the prosecution of the war in Iraq and its treatment of the prisoners of war which it terms "enemy combatants"; opposition to equality for gays; and, of course, support for the war on free speech and free press."

I guess Bush could have nominated someone worse....but sure doesn't seem like this bodes well for the gay community of our 1st Amendment rights.
