CFIF: Left’s Attempt to Use Hurricane Katrina Against Roberts is ‘Despicable,’ ‘Pathetic’

Statement of Jeff Mazzella, President of the
Center for Individual Freedom

Alexandria, VA — According to the Boston Globe, several prominent Democrats and liberal leaders are attempting to use the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina as a tool to express their doubts about Judge John Roberts’ record on civil rights issues. In response, CFIF President Jeff Mazzella made the following statement:

“The on-going effort to use this catastrophe for political gain is despicable and a pathetic new low in the Left’s desperate attempt to torpedo Judge Roberts’ confirmation.

“It’s hard to imagine anything more tasteless or disgusting than invoking the misery and despair of hurricane victims in an effort to score political points.

“But even the most inflammatory rhetoric can’t disguise the emptiness of these outrageous attacks on Judge Roberts, a respected jurist and brilliant attorney who will make an outstanding Chief Justice.

“With each over-the-top attack, groups like NARAL and MoveOn and liberal Senators like Patrick Leahy ensure their own failure, destroy their own credibility, and render themselves irrelevant in the political arena.”

The Center for Individual Freedom (www.cfif.org/supremecourt) is a non-profit, non-partisan Constitutional and free-market advocacy organization dedicated to protecting individual freedom and rights in the legal, legislative and educational arenas. For nearly four years, the Center has been a leader in pushing the Senate to hold up-or-down votes on judicial nominations.
