HRC votes Roberts off the island

I just got an email from HRC (Human Rights Campaign) in which they come out agains the Roberts nomination to Supreme Court Justice because of:
John Roberts' extremely skeptical view of the constitutional right to privacy—a view that could seriously endanger our rights as defined in Lawrence v. Texas; his hostility towards enforcement of civil rights; his severely limited view of the role of the courts to protect individual rights and liberties and his views about the separation of church and state.
Can't say I disagree with their position. I'm fairly sure he'll eventually get the job, but who knows how he'll turn out as a judge.

Let's just hope he's not worse than Scalia.
