Anita Hill slams choice of Roberts:
"Hill admits not much is known about Roberts' political ideology, but notes 'his career has been built on membership in increasingly elitist institutions that include few women and Latinos or other ethnic minorities.'
'With O'Connor on the bench, the Supreme Court was the most diverse in its history,' Hill continued. 'If confirmability through the Roberts 'primer' becomes the rule, it is not hard to imagine a return to an all-white-male Supreme Court.
'The nomination process may have become so politicized that the only secure nomination is someone who is an ultimate Washington insider, liked by both sides. If so, it misses a chance to reflect the experiences of the vast majority of Americans. Moreover, a gold standard for judicial selection based on exclusivity appears to contradict the values of ever-expanding opportunities we espouse.'"
Personally I have no opinion on Roberts formed as of yet, but Anita Hill is out of her mind, so much so that she has also torpedoed any shred of credibility she may have once had.
