Wilson Statement on Judge John Roberts Nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court

Tonight, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) made the following remarks regarding the nomination of Judge John Roberts to the U.S. Supreme Court: "Since the moment Justice O'Connor announced her resignation, President Bush has met with an unprecedented number of people in both political parties. His thorough and sound selection process has proven that he is dedicated to nominating an impartial, highly-qualified person to the Supreme Court," said Wilson."The President's selection of Judge John Roberts is good for our country. Throughout his accomplished legal career, Judge Roberts has demonstrated that he will fairly interpret and apply the constitution. Mr. Roberts is a man of great integrity who deserves a civil and swift confirmation process. "The United States Senate has already unamiously expressed its confidence in Judge Roberts. I am hopeful that the Senate will confirm his appointment to the United States Supreme Court before the fall term begins." ####
