Feminist Bloggers Say No to John Roberts

C u l t u r e k i t c h e n has posted an open letter to the Senate and Judiciary Committee. I haven't signed it, but everyone who feels strongly about this probably should.

I am very pessimistic about this whole petition against Roberts nomination. Roberts is probably a right-wing toady. His record has all the makings of one....Rehnquist was no free thinker either. The Supreme Court basically shoehorned W. into power. And Roberts is bad, really bad, but we need a much bigger show of public opinion than feminist bloggers to turn this tide.

And maybe I'm just a little bit uncomfortable with going on the rampage as a "feminist blogger" creating "communities of hope." I'm much too grouchy for that. And in the aftermath of Katrina, I'm grouchier and sadder.
