In that case, Judge Roberts was hired as an attorney to represent the native Hawaiians.

Do you understand the concept of working for someone?

So, you would represent abortionists in a "choice" case?

Actually, I've noticed a surprisingly large number of people who are totally uncomprehending of the adversarial nature of our legal systems and that lawyers on a routine basis argue for or defend things that they don't personally believe in, and that there's nothing wrong with that; the sort of people that think that being a criminal defense attorney is inherently evil, for example.

It's a shame more people don't take part in debate teams in high school and college; you have one resolution for a semester and at every tournament you'll argue for and against the same resolution many times in a single weekend.
