One would be the right to have a Supreme Court that
respects and upholds the laws of the land.

John Roberts, who bu$h wants to see appointed Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, has demonstrated that he does not respect
or follow U.S. law, and will violate it to suit his personal
agenda.
Federal law clearly states that a judge "shall disqualify
himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might
reasonably be questioned." Obviously, neither bu$h nor
Roberts follow or respect the rule of law, as they clearly
ignored it.

From:
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/09/06/149245

"But on a key part of the case, whether there were rights
under the Geneva convention under what we lawyers call common
article three. It was a 2-1 decision with Roberts in the two
and there being a concurrence by Williams saying that he
believed that the Geneva Convention did provide certain
fundamental rights to Guantanamo detainees. Now what's
remarkable to me that case came down on July 19-- I'm sorry,
the case came down on July 15. It was argued on April 7. On
April 1, Judge Roberts met with Alberto Gonzales to discuss
the question of his being nominated as a Supreme Court Justice.
So a week before the case is argued, he's meeting with Alberto
Gonzales. And over the course of that litigation, before it
is decided, he?s met with really everybody in the oval office
and the white house. He?s met with the president. He?s met
with the vice president, he's met with various aides, counsel,
etc., while the case is pending. Now it seems obvious that
here he is counsel in the case didn't know anything about
those meetings. He is sitting on a case that's central to
this administration's claims for power in the so-called
war on terror which is the application of the Geneva
conventions. He's meeting with Alberto Gonzales, the very
guy that actually is the architect of part much the policies
of the Geneva conventions and yet, he says nothing to the
lawyers for the Guantanamo detainees, nor does he actually
recuse himself from the case. Because of the obvious
appearance of impartiality. That is where it stands.
And then we have taken some action since then."
