Controversial?

The Los Angeles Daily Journal is a local legal newspaper. Their lead article today discusses how the Reagan Library will be the site of a review of documents written by or concerning the newest Supreme Court nominee.
It describes Judge Roberts' nomination as "controversial". Huh? Maybe Bork was controversial, but just because a bunch of left wing political action groups predictably go knee jerk negative on him, does that merit such a description? I don't think so.
