The head of the Republican Party on Friday faulted some Democrats and liberals who want to turn "a judicial confirmation into a political campaign" and called for swift Senate confirmation of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts.Now, Ken, are you getting all excited about John Roberts because of that NY Times article this morning? And, Ken, you know which article I am talking about: Court Nominee Advised Group on Gay Rights.
Ken Mehlman, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, used an address at the organization's annual summer meeting to praise President Bush's domestic record and his selection of Roberts, criticize judicial activism and focus on the party's outreach to black and Hispanic voters.
