RCA Commends Bush Nominees, Judge John Roberts

Statement of the Rabbinical Council of America on the Nomination of Judge John Roberts to the US Supreme Court

Aug 25, 2005 — The Rabbinical Council of America commends President Bush for his selection of Judge John Roberts to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

From everything of which the Rabbinical Council of America is currently aware, Judge Roberts appears to have exemplary intellectual skills and appropriate judicial temperament. He has a strong background and experience in adjudicating cases before the Supreme Court, the respect of his colleagues and the legal profession in general and a fine moral character. He would seem to represent what the founding fathers had in mind when picturing a justice of the Supreme Court. We hope and pray that The Almighty help Judge Roberts to discharge his duties in a way that fulfills our expectations and which serves the best interests of the citizens of our great country.
