New York Times coverage of the Supreme Court opening

In one article, the Times talks about how conservative Christians are rallying against the nomination of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, who is thought to be soft (from their perspective) on abortion and affirmative action. I don't know how his problems with the Guantanamo thing will be a factor.


The other piece is about Senator Arlen Specter, chair of the judiciary committee. He himself is not too popular with conservative Christians.
