Not impressed by his pro bono work on Romer v. Evans, Human Rights Campaign, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, National Center for Lesbian Rights and Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays all announced yesterday that they have decided to oppose Roberts’ nomination to the Supreme Court.

“His writings as a lawyer, his rulings as a judge and his statements as a policymaker all lead us to the unfortunate conclusion that Judge Roberts would not vote to protect our civil rights from those who are, at this moment, fighting so hard to take them away,” the groups said in a statement.

White House spokesman Steve Schmidt said the administration was unconcerned about the statement because it expected liberal advocacy groups to oppose the nominee.

“There are a great many groups that made a decision a long time ago to oppose whomever President Bush put forward for the Supreme Court. The only question was the date,” Schmidt said. “The answer for these groups is Aug. 25.”
