from a move on email(sorry if its been posted)
=====
He opposed clean air rules and worked to help coal companies strip-mine mountaintops. He worked with Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr), and tried to keep Congress from defending the Voting Rights Act. He wrote that Roe v. Wade should be "overruled," and as a lawyer argued (and won) the case that stopped some doctors from even discussing abortion.Wrong on environmental protection: Roberts appears to want to limit the scope of the Endangered Species Act, and in papers he wrote while in law school he supported far-right legal theories about "takings" which would make it almost impossible for the government to enforce most environmental legislation.
Wrong on civil rights: Roberts worked to keep Congress from defending parts of the Voting Rights Act.
Wrong on human rights: As a appeals court judge, Roberts ruled that the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to some prisoners of war.
Wrong on our right to religious freedom: Roberts argued that schools should be able to impose religious speech on attendees.
Wrong on women's rights: Roberts wrote that "Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overruled." He also weighed in on behalf of Operation Rescue, a violent anti-abortion group, in a federal case.

interesting facts:
- Served only two years as a judge at the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Before being appointed by George W. Bush, Roberts worked for Hogan and Hartson as a senior partner drawing in a salary in excess of $1 million per year.
- As deputy solicitor general, Roberts filed a discretionary amicus brief (friend of the court brief) in support of Operation Rescue, a group that blocked access to abortion clinics on a regular basis.
- During his brief time as a federal judge, Roberts wrote the appellate brief that supported the arrest of a 12 year-old girl for eating French fries on the Washington subway (Hedgepeth v. WMATA)
