| July 20, 2005 - (Washington, D.C.) – U.S. Sen. David Vitter made the following statement on the Supreme Court nomination of John Roberts: “I think clearly John Roberts – President Bush’s nominee – is highly qualified and if you look at his resume it’s really sterling. He has a good educational background, is a really sharp person and has argued before the Supreme Court more than 30 times. “Perhaps even more importantly, I think he has a very good temperament for the Court. He gets high marks and praise from really everyone who’s worked with him, Democrats and Republicans alike, which is very important. “Now, having said that, I still have homework to do. I’m going to look at all of his major decisions very carefully and I’m going to do a lot of reading before I’m prepared to cast my final vote. But certainly, this nominee seems highly qualified.” |
