Last week, seven Democratic female senators launched a Web site — www.democrats.senate.gov/askroberts — where anyone can submit questions for Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts, whose confirmation hearings will begin September 6. The senators are looking for questions that go beyond where the conservative Roberts stands on Roe v. Wade. They want inquiries into his positions on education, civil rights, and business practices. "As Senators, we believe it shouldn’t only be Senators that get to ask the questions this time around," the site’s message reads. More than 10,000 questions have been submitted since Thursday, according to the office of Maryland senator Barbara Mikulski, who spearheaded the effort.
