Wikipedia has given us lots of fun stuff to use for letters opposing the Roberts nomination, among which are:

--The Washington French Fry Incident: In which Roberts wrote an opinion stating that the Washington Metro Authority have the right to handcuff and arrest a twelve-year-old for eating a french fry in the Metro station--a "crime" for which adults are merely fined. (UPDATE: The opinion is here. Roberts felt that the guidelines were "foolish", but felt that the question was whether they violated the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The Courts have not generally been very friendly to the Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights of minors--see New Jersey v. TLO, an opinion I argued against in ninth grade--so it's not exceptional. So it's a nice media point, but ultimately distracts from...)

--Roberts's anti-progressive views on so much more than abortion (for those with pro-life senators)--including his belief that the Geneva Convention does not guarantee individual rights, his anti-environmental views, and his anti-labor views.

And wait! There's more!

Roberts's law firm, Hogan & Hartson, was on the Bush legal team in Bush v. Gore, and his wife is a former vice-president of Feminists for Life.

Please feel free to copy the letter below wholesale, or to change it:

As your constituent, I urge you to vote "No" on confirming John Roberts to the Supreme Court. Additionally, I urge you to take all lawful measures to block his appointment

Many of the cases which Roberts has tried indicate views which are out of step with the people of [your state here]. In 1991, while a Deputy Solicitor General under George H. W. Bush, he filed a brief with the Supreme Court in Rust v. Sullivan saying "We continue to believe that [Roe v. Wade] was wrongly decided and should be overruled." While he noted that in 2003 Roe v. Wade was settled law, he may have meant that it was settled only as far as he could interpret the law in lower courts. Even more disturbing is Roberts's views on the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. Roberts was the author of a D.C. Circuit Court ruling that found that the Washington Metro Authority were within their rights to handcuff and arrest a twelve-year-old for eating a french fry in a Metro station. In his most recent decision, Roberts upheld military court tribunals for trying terror suspects and claimed that the Geneva Convention is not a universal declaration of human rights.

Finally, all views on Roberts's political leanings aside, Judge Roberts does not have the judicial experience that I would desire in a Supreme Court Justice. Roberts has only served as a judge for two years; in contrast, Justice O'Connor was on the bench for six years before her appointment to the court.

Mix and match elements to appeal to your senators! For Kay Bailey Hutchinson of Texas, focus on Roberts's opposition to Roe (which she voted to affirm in 2002) and his lack of experience. For Harry Reid, focus on the environmental and labor issues (Las Vegas is the most unionized city in the U.S.) The union bits will help in Rust Belt states, while the environmental parts may help in the West. And finally, remind Arlen Specter that his junior colleague is increasingly unpopular, so it may be a good idea politically to distance himself from Santorum in any way possible.
