Supreme Court Nominee Roberts to be Questioned About Privacy
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said that he will not ask Supreme Court chief justice nominee John Roberts whether he would vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the landmark decision that legalized abortion. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., did say he planned to ask Roberts, the president's pick to succeed the late William H. Rehnquist as chief justice, whether there is a right to privacy in the Constitution.
