YOU HAVEN'T THE FOGGIEST CLUE WHAT HIS VIEWS ON THAT TOPIC ARE! And yes, I'm yelling.
It's posts like yours referenced above that expose you of posting with an agenda. No serious person is going to claim to glean Roberts' view on "Consitutional Protection for sodomists" from the fact that he spent a few hours coaching another attorney on arguing a case before the SC.
Right you are. Especially when you consider he has worked about 50,000 hours as a lawyer and a judge. The libs have dug through this history and come up with about 10 hours were he advised lawyers in his firm about the appellate procedures of THEIR case, not his.
O.K. Take a deep breath. Count to ten, let it out. There, does it feel better? Good.
I'm sure my posting is but is a pimple on the mountain of concerns you may have in life. Hardly worth getting so agitated.
My concern is not that Roberts has a homosexual agenda.
My concern is that he accepted a pro bono case in a situation where a strict constructionist would have serious reservations. This isn't just me tlaking, nor is it the LA Times. Its Mark Levin, a Constitutional Attorney with solid conservative credentials who intially supported Roberts, perhaps still may, but has recognized a "small red flag" with respect to this issue.
Like Roe versus Wade, giving homosexuals protection against employer discrimination is an issue simply not addressed in the Constitution. It has nothing to do with ethnic or racial or religious discrimination. It concerns an issue of personal morality.
Consequently this conserns me, and it should concern you also if you are a conservative.
And my only "agenda", if you want to call it that, is to make sure that another Souter, Bader-Ginsberg, Warren, Douglass, Breyer, Kennedy, O'Connor doesn't slip through the gate and wind up on the Supreme Court to create more legislating from the bench.
I'm sure you feel the same way.
So lets hope that in the hearings about a man all of us know so little about, our concerns will be assuaged, or, if not, another candidate will emerge and et selected.
Getting the Supreme Court on track and off the left-wing turn it took was one of the very salient reasons for supporting Bush in the first place.
