Another reason or two to oppose John Roberts

ETA: The Nomination Watch blog of the National Women's Law Center provides a list of those groups opposing Roberts' nomination. I don't know about you, but it's a list I'd rather be on than not:
ADA Watch and the National Coalition for Disability Rights
Alliance for Justice
American Association for Affirmative Action
Americans United for Separation of Church and State
Equal Justice Society
Feminist Majority
Human Rights Campaign
League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
MoveOn.org
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund
Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund
NARAL Pro-Choice America
National Abortion Federation
National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum
National Association of Social Workers
National Center for Lesbian Rights
National Council of Jewish Women
National Council of Women’s Organizations
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association
National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health
National Organization for Women
National Partnership for Women and Families
National Women's Law Center
Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays
People for the American Way
RAINBOW/PUSH Coalition
Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice
The Shalom Center
Women’s Sports Foundation

And from Reuters:


If confirmed by the Senate to the lifetime post, Roberts, 50, would be the youngest chief justice in two centuries.

He would be in position to lead the high court for decades, helping to shape the American way of life on matters from civil rights to abortion rights, voting rights to gay rights.
