(Washington, DC) The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law said today that John Roberts, Jr., the nominee named by President Bush for a seat on the Supreme Court of the United States, is an exceptional choice who will bring sound legal reasoning to the high court.

Judge Roberts is an exceptional choice who will bring sound legal reasoning to the Supreme Court of the United States, said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ, who argues regularly before the high court.  He was one of the most gifted advocates before the high court and has served with distinction on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.  In my dealings with Judge Roberts over the years, I have found him to be a lawyers lawyer exhibiting uncommon insight and judgment.  A man of character, Judge Roberts understands the Constitution and has a record of applying the law not legislating from the bench.  He is extremely well suited and well qualified to serve this country on the nations highest court.  We call on the Senate to begin the confirmation process and move swiftly to conduct fair hearings and to confirm this exceptional nominee.

Sekulow, who argues frequently before the Supreme Court, said the ACLJ will begin mobilizing a national campaign to ensure that Judge Roberts is confirmed.  Sekulow said he will generate support for the nominee through his daily radio broadcast that reaches 1.5 million listeners, through his weekly television show, by using direct mail, phone calls, and emails to a list approaching one million supporters.

We are prepared for a very intense battle that is certain to begin immediately, said Sekulow.  We already have experienced the obstructionist tactics used to keep President Bushs federal appeals court nominees off the bench.  This Supreme Court nomination represents the culmination of years of preparation and focus.  And we are prepared to ensure that the Constitution is complied with in this confirmation battle.  We support President Bushs nominee and are launching a national campaign to ensure that the nominee is confirmed.

Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice is based in Washington, D.C.
