Nominee Offers Views on
Most Issues, but Skirts
Contentious Cases
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 - Judge John
G. Roberts Jr. faced increasingly
contentious questions from Democrats
on Wednesday as he outlined his views
on an array of legal issues, but
repeatedly declined to address some of
the most ideologically charged matters,
including whether the Constitution
establishes a right to abortion and a
right to die.
"I'm not standing for election," Judge
Roberts said in one testy exchange on
end-of-life issues on the third day of his
confirmation hearings for chief justice
of the United States.
His refusal to elaborate on his
statement that there is a constitutionally
protected right to privacy drew
criticism from Senator Joseph R. Biden
Jr. of Delaware, one of several
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee refused to discuss how they would vote, said. "It wasn't a dispute about the overruled. Under questioning from
