Years ago when doing research, I read that the SCOTUS JR’s first pro bono gig was working for LAMBDA. Lemme look...

https://newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin258.htm

While Justice Rehnquist was a consistent foe of pro-homosexual rulings by the court, Roberts’ track record on the subject reveals something vastly different. “[C]oncerning the ‘pro-bono’ work which Judge Roberts did for Lambda Legal Defense, a homosexual activist group, in the run-up to a pro-homosexual decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Romer v. Evans, Roberts made clear that he found nothing morally objectionable in abetting the sodomite cause.” (Source: Howard Phillips) It is more than interesting that Roberts did not mention his work on the gay-rights case in his 67-page response to a Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire even though the questionnaire specifically asked for “specific instances” in which he had performed pro bono work.

Furthermore, long time Roberts friend, Edward Lazarus, expresses the view that John Roberts would share practically nothing in common with conservative justices Rehnquist, Scalia, or Thomas. Lazarus said, “Putting politics aside, the current Court member Roberts most resembles is Stephen Breyer.” It could be argued that Breyer is more liberal than even David Souter or Anthony Kennedy!

1995: Pro bono work for gay rights activists. (Aug 2005)

As a new law graduate, Roberts clerked for appellate Judge Henry Friendly and William Rehnquist, whom he succeeded on the Supreme Court. In the 1980s, Roberts served as special assistant to U.S. Attorney General William French Smith, and then as associate counsel to President Ronald Reagan. While working for the law firm Hogan & Hartson in the mid-1980s, Roberts carried out pro bono work for LGBTQ+ rights activists and prepped arguments for the 1996 case Romer v. Evans, which involved sexual orientation as related to state law.

This post is a good one for ‘red pilling,’ in certain cases.

I went to the links you provided, and still think that the John Roberts who represented NAMBLA, is NOT the SCOTUS Chief, but another John Roberts who was the Director of the Mass. ACLU.

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/01/us/aclu-will-defend-group-that-advocates-legalizing-sex-between-men-and-boys.html

Roberts may have represented a gay rights group ... but that is not nearly the same as representing the disgusting pedophile organization, NAMBLA.

Confusion is understandable (and I may be the one confused), but there is nothing in any bio of SCOTUS-Roberts that ties him to the ACLU.
