NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S CHILDREN
**Exclusive**
The DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a plot in the NEW YORK TIMES' newsroom to look into the adoption of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts.
The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.
Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.
Both children were adopted from Latin America.
A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions are part of the paper's "standard background check."
Roberts’ young son Jack delighted millions of Americans during his father’s Supreme Court nomination announcement ceremony when he wouldn’t stop dancing while the President and his father spoke to a national television audience.
Previously the WASHINGTON POST Style section had published a story criticizing the outfits Josie’s and Jack’s mother had them wear at the announcement ceremony.
One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES’ plans declared: “Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts’ family like this is despicable. Children’s lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.”
One top Republican official when told of the situation was incredulous. “This can’t possibly be true?”

This is more than sickening.
This has plunged into farce.
Some Latin American countries have blonde haired/blue eyed folks in their population. I was in Argentina, and our tour guide, 100% pure Argentinian, looked like she'd grown up in London. Blonde hair, blue eyes -- but Argentinian. I remember remarking to her about the surprise, and she told me something about how it's not as uncommon as you might think.
has ther been blackmail? vote our way or else?

Trying to think of a reason for Roberts’ bizarre reasoning, I wondered if his family had been threatened, but I was thinking of something more physical.
Sure seems that way. Obama got on the TV and basically threatened that it be passed.
