Leahy’s Reply To Chairman Specter’s Letter On Roberts Documents August 10, 2005: “I and my Democratic colleagues on the Committee have made a carefully crafted and narrow request for documents in 16 important cases that might illuminate Judge Roberts’s views on important issues of concern to all Americans civil rights, privacy and access to justice. John Roberts’s work as a political appointee in the office of ‘the people’s lawyer’ the Solicitor General is especially relevant to his nomination, in our view, because his decisions there were made at the intersection of his legal views and major public policy decisions. I am greatly concerned about news reports in which unnamed White House sources seem to be acknowledging that papers pertinent to this nomination and promised to the Senate are being kept under wraps.”
