Conservative group withdraws support for Roberts nomination
Public Advocate of the United States, a Virginia based conservative group, pulled its backing of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts over his prior involvement in overturning a Colorado referendum on gays. Eugene Delgaudio said the stance aims to prompt others while stressing Roberts is not a strict constructionist. Roberts told Senator Ron Wyden that Congress may set standards but should not dictate remedies in individual cases like Terri Schiavo.
