  • August 10, 2005 the Honorable Arlen Specter the Honorable Patrick J
    August 10, 2005 The Honorable Arlen Specter The Honorable Patrick J. Leahy Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Specter and Senator Leahy: I am writing to express to you my concern about suggestions that one of John Roberts’ Supreme Court arguments reflects an ideology that leads him “to excuse violence against other Americans.” This assertion is based upon the role that Roberts played as Deputy Solicitor General in 1991 and 1992 in briefing and arguing on behalf of the United States in Bray v. Alexandria Clinic. Such a suggestion is unfair and unwarranted. The question in Bray was whether protests which blocked access to reproductive health clinics and which all agreed violated state civil and criminal trespass laws also violated a provision of the federal Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. In his briefing and argument before the Supreme Court on behalf of the United States, Roberts argued that a particular provision of the 1871 Act in question only provided remedies against acts directed at a class of people defined by a class characteristic and that did not apply to those motivated by opposition to abortion. I disagreed with the position Roberts argued. But the question was a complex one, prior Supreme Court precedents had taken a narrow view of the provision, and in the end six Justices agreed with Roberts’ basic argument. (In response to Bray, Congress adopted new legislation – the Freedom of Access to Clinics Act – which, unlike the 1871 law, directly addressed the problem of clinic access and provided a more effective cause of action than would have been possible under the 19th Century law interpreted in Bray.) I also fear that some people will be left with the impression that Roberts is somehow associated with clinic bombers.

Senator Bob Casey, Jr. won with 53.6% over Tom Smith (44.7%). Kathleen Kane triumphed over David Freed 56.1% to 41.6% in the race for Attorney General. A Democrat has never held the office of Attorney General. State Treasurer Rob McCord won re-election 52.5% to 44% over Diana Irey Vaughan. The closest race pitted two incumbent House members against each other but ultimately Democrat Eugene DePasquale from York overpowered Republican John Maher (Allegheny/Washington) 49.7% to 46.5%. In this race, the Libertarian candidate Betsy Elizabeth Summers drew 3.8% of the vote, potentially enough to swing the decision.
