Anti-Abortion Advocacy of Wife of Court Nominee Draws Interest

Judge John G. Roberts has left little hard evidence of his views on abortion in recent years and is widely expected to try to avoid the issue in his coming confirmation hearings.

But there is little mystery about the views of his wife, Jane Sullivan Roberts, a Roman Catholic lawyer from the Bronx whose pro bono work for Feminists for Life is drawing intense interest in the ideologically charged environment of a Supreme Court confirmation debate.

Could be, but I've also heard he isn't. I don't know where to find out these things.

[xzins]

You are correct

Raised Roman Catholic (he later attended an Episcopal church with his wife, but returned to the Catholic Church in the late 1990s), Thomas considered entering the priesthood, and briefly attended Immaculate Conception Seminary, a Catholic seminary in Missouri, where he encountered some racism. Thomas later attended College of the Holy Cross, where he co-founded the school's Black Student Union and received an A.B., cum laude.

Family:
William Hubbs Rehnquist was born October 1, 1924, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the son of William Benjamin Rehnquist, a paper salesman, and Margery Peck Rehnquist. Rehnquist married Natalie Cornell of San Diego, California, and had 3 children: James in 1955, Janet in 1957, and Nancy in 1959. The family is a member of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Bethesda, Maryland.

The New York Times has been a vicious anti-Catholic and anti-Christian newspaper for years. It enjoys its status as the secular bible, and mirrors the accelerating anti-religious fervor of the secularists. The nomination of John Roberts will bring out the hatred of these groups; it will be both coded and overt.

Hugh Hewitt excellently referenced this yesterday.

The New York Times has been taken over by homosexuals. Promoting and normalizing homosexuality is the #1 cause for that newspaper now. If you read the Times on any given day, you will see a story glamorizing homosexuals in some way, or highlighting some discriminiation against them. You would think that half the population of the U.S. is homosexual if you only read this newspaper. The Catholic Church is therefore its biggest enemy. The Church's pro-life stance is way down the list for the Times; it is the Church's adamant opposition to homosexuality that is the issue.

You know, the Constitution strictly forbids using a religious test for any office. Then again, when did that stop the Left.

You can improve the odds. I use www.metacrawler.com

It does a simultaneous search on a number of engines - Google, Ask Jeeves, etc., etc..

Rehnquist is a "Dixie" loving WASP, not that there's anything wrong with that...

I think Gingsberg's husband is an abortion doctor, and Breyer's companion....uhhh well that says it all

[Unam Sanctam]

Breyer has a wife and child, so that's not quite fair.
