Democrats open Web forum on Supreme Court nominee | News.blog | CNET News.com: "Want to grill President Bush's most recent Supreme Court nominee? Earlier this week, seven U.S. Senate Democrats, all women, launched 'Ask John Roberts,' which houses an electronic form where citizens can shoot off questions to Washington.

The politicians will use the responses as 'guideposts for the materials they submit to the Judiciary Committee,' which will play a large role in the upcoming confirmation process, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., said in a statement. Mikulski, who led the push for the site, said people should demand to know Roberts' record on everything from privacy to whether 'it's constitutional to make sure that girls' sports teams get equal funding.'"
