Leahy Supports Roberts
Judge John Roberts has support from all 55 Republicans in the Senate and possibly half the 44 Democrats. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the nomination 13-5 yesterday, with all 10 Republicans and three Democrats endorsing the appeals court judge.
Senator Patrick Leahy, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, announced his support the day after the party’s leader announced his opposition to John Roberts.
Seven other Democrats, in addition to the three on the Judiciary Committee, have said they are leaning toward voting for Judge Roberts’ confirmation.
