Arlington County Board Member J. Walter Tejada joined other members of Hispanics for a Fair Judiciary in a press conference today to discuss the John Roberts Supreme Court nomination and the reasons why he fails to gain Hispanic support, according to this press release.
"Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' existing record indicates a view of the law which should be of grave concernto the Hispanic community. He has supported weakening fundamental rights andcivil rights laws, cutting back the vital role of our courts in enforcinglegal protections and restricting the ability of the people's democraticallyelected representatives to enact crucial nationwide worker, anti-discrimination and environmental safeguards."
The other participants in the press conference were Dolores Huerta, Colorado State Rep. Michael Garcia, and Maria Cardona.
