Is it a gaffe or does he mean it?

There has been nothing indicating that he has.

Actually, it is not a gaffe. Any ethical judge should be willing to step out of any case, if he/she encountered a flat-out conflict between what the law requires and what his/her church required. I'll bet the sentence after that, which is not being reported, was, "Based on my experience, I do not anticipate such a conflict occurring in the future; it has not occurred in the past."

It's the Dem strategy: make Roberts look like another Souter. Yesterday, Feinstein said that she had a private meeting with Roberts, and believes that Roberts is not going to overturn Roe. Today, there is this.
If ever there was really a black helicopter, this is it.
It makes absolutely no sense that Roberts would tell anyone that he'd disqualify himself in an issue considered important by the Roman Catholic Church--certainly not that whacko, Dick Durbin.
