Can Roberts be stopped?

We the people of the United States hereby call for a NATIONAL REFERENDUM, by phone call, by fax, by email, and by letter, on the choice of a new chief justice for our Supreme Court. We are presented with a pleasant, smiley face who so far has refused to answer questions about whether he agrees with the holdings in cases upon which we have long relied, which we have a right to know, and who has refused to deliver for examination any of his memos for the last 20 years, which we have a right to see.

The now most unpopular second term president in history does NOT have the carte blanche to appoint any crony ideologue of his own choosing, and we are deeply suspicious of the motives of this particular nominee, who cannot even tell the truth about his leadership role in the reactionary Federalist Society. We therefore call on our senators to reject this nominee, by filibuster if necessary, and to DEMAND a different and more forthcoming nominee who better represents the mainstream of the American people. Read the inspirational piece on OpEdNews.com.

The immediate priority is to call the three Democrats who have already voted for Roberts in committee and persuade them that their vote was wrong, and CONTRARY to the will of we the people, especially if you are from Vermont or Wisconsin. They said it was a "close call". If we all tell them it has to go the other way they must listen. There are three toll-free numbers, 888-818-6641, 888-355-3588, 877-762-8762 (already fast busy signal). Just ask for the senator by name, or here are their direct phone and fax numbers:
