Roberts took the side of pro racial preferences and quotas in the rice vs cayatano case giving racial preferences to native hawaii islanders. He argued this before the supreme court. And look who he argued against and with will tell you all you need to know about the "fake conservative" Roberts.
Judge Bork, Ted Olson, took the side arguing before the supreme court against the racial preferences in quotas arguing against Roberts.
Roberts took the side of U.S solicitor general waxman in the clinton administration arguing for the racial preferences.
This Roberts guy is another Souter on social issues.
Roberts also has as a caused tried to help minority students get into law schools. He is very pro affirmative action.
Between this and the abortion is settled we have a Souter on social issues.
Roberts as a conservative is a bad joke.
Here come the FR wackos.
Not a wacko just am a conservative that was hoping for another Scalia not a country club conservative.
Robert's is a lawyer. His gig is represent his client.
He was hired. I agree with Coulter that he is more of a blank slate than I would like. I am not foolish enough to not understand that lawyers for hire argue cases they are hired to agrue.
And he also argued against Roe v. Wade.
Roberts' record looks like a guy who will uphold the constitution, regardless of whether it will tick off the left or the right. I like that.
When Roberts was representing the government in these cases, he is not expressing his views, but defending the views of those he represents.
Don't go psycho on us!
Welcome to FR... :\
he also argued for Playboy TV
In that case, Judge Roberts was hired as an attorney to represent the native Hawaiians.
Do you understand the concept of working for someone?
It's no wonder you've been called a wacko, this vanity is nothing but inadvertent flatulence
Welcome to FR. Don't be a wingnut.
Yes, that's what lawyers do, argue for their clients.
"Since May 16, 2005"
I will cut you some slack cause you are new. You are expected to post a link to back your accusations. So please provide a source to back up your claims
We will have to see.
He was a lawyer for money, so I don't think his personal preferences are that involved in every case.
He's paid to be an advocate.
Clement also said Roe v. Wade is settled law. When are people going to get it! When you're being appointed to a Court of Appeals then Supreme Court decision are SETTLED LAW!!!!
Looking at the way the thread started, I was hoping for a good zotting, but see you've been here more than 2 months. *sigh*. Oh well, we'll get one soon.
