Of course feminists oppose Roberts, but it's not really the fact of it so much as it is the detail and breadth of the statement signed by a number of prominent bloggers and sent to the Senate Judiciary committee.
From the opening, Liza Sabater's statement sounds less like a "statement" and more like the preamble to some new Constitution...
"We are a group of writers who are passionately committed to supporting women's basic freedom as citizens of the United States. We are appealing to you as free citizens dedicated to political growth, fairness and the spirit of Liberty guaranteed in the US Constitution."
"We are not paid pundits or political operatives. We are concerned citizens who represent the diversity of the United States: women and men, straight and gay, single and married, religious and atheist, of different races, religions and ethnicities. Some of us are even parents even after having abortions. And we all blog because we have to."(Culture Kitchen via Majikthise)
