Your John G. Roberts Guide

When President Bush announced John G. Roberts as his Supreme Court nominee on Tuesday night, I'd heard of the guy only in passing. So I scrambled around, reading news stories and legal experts' blogs, trying to get a handle on his qualifications and his background. I also tried to take in the vast landscape of activist activity surrounding Roberts' nomination. It wasn't an easy task. Luckily, if you want to read up on Roberts, there's now a central webpage for progressives interested in educating themselves about the man who could be our next Supreme Court justice—or taking part in the battle against his confirmation. Check out The Supreme Court: Guide For Activists from Moving Ideas. It's got reports on Roberts' record and background, mobilization efforts around the country, and important analysis of what's at stake.
