Howard Dean weighs in on the Roberts' nomination.
http://www.blackamericaweb.com/site.aspx/bawnews/roberts906

"With Roberts' confirmation hearings set to begin, the White House's bureaucratic bungling and political stonewalling must come to an end," Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said in a statement last week.

"The Senate has a duty to fully and fairly judge Roberts' record and qualifications, but how can it possibly do that when the White House has been sloppy or just plain uncooperative in providing information?" Dean asked.

"Each of their surprise disclosures has contained additional reasons for concern about whether Roberts would use his lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court to be an activist for an ideological agenda or an advocate for Americans' personal freedom," Dean said."

Jesse Jackson and Elijah Cummings are also quoted as being very much against the nomination. However some of our Democrats I just don't trust on this.

1. "bureaucratic bungling and political stonewalling"
I would call that speaking out.

"White House has been sloppy or just plain uncooperative in providing information."

I would call that speaking out.

After all the threads yelling "Where are the Democrats"...this one is dropping quickly.

Here is a Democrat, and others are speaking as well.

3. Dr. Dean... the only Democrat who isn't talking out of twosides, or none.
