1. Cheney is pro-gay
2. The Bush Administration did not fight the Lawrence decision.
3. While Bush supports the FMA, he is otherwise pretty pro-gay.

It would not surprise me if Roberts were pro-life and pro-gay just like the Vice President. How you square the Romer case with Roberts anti-judicial activist comments is beyond me, but it certainly is a strong possiblity that Bush would choose a Romer supporter. And may I remind everyone that Romer is now the case being used to argue for overturning state marriage amendments. That's exactly what happened when the federal activist judge overturned the Nebraska Marriage Amendment. The same arguments are being used as were used in Romer, only now they have precendent on their side. So Bush can't really support a FMA that would return the issue to state legislatures AND be indifferent on Romer.

The libs are now even clamoring for Roberts in house memos while he was Solicitor General, has any another nominee had to withstand such scrutiny?
