Supreme Court Nominee John Roberts expressed great disappointment after learning the NEW YORK TIMES was poking around for details on his adopted children, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
The DRUDGE REPORT first revealed how TIMES investigative reporter Glen Justice questioned if the adoption records for the Roberts children, Josephine and Jack, ages 5 and 4, would be made available for examination.
TIMES editors were determined to find any possible legal irregularities in the adoptions, insiders claim.
FOXNEWS's Brit Hume reported late last week how the TIMES has been asking lawyers that specialize in adoption cases for advice on how to get into the sealed court records:
"Sources familiar with the matter tell FOXNEWS that at least one lawyer turned the TIMES down flat, saying that any effort to pry into adoption case records, which are always sealed, would be reprehensible.
A senior editor at the TIMES lashed out at this space over the revealtion:
"The DRUDGE REPORT is wrong, overwrought and a gross misrepresentation of what has happened," blasted the paper's senior editor in a press release.
But the editor did confess: "Our reporters made initial inquiries about the adoptions... They did so with great care, understanding the sensitivity of the issue."
Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison called the newspaper's actions "reprehensible," saying the inquiry crossed the "fine line between legitimate background inquiries and invasion of privacy."
The National Council For Adoption issued the following statement:
“NCFA denounces, in the strongest possible terms, the shocking decision of the New York Times to investigate the adoption records of Justice John Roberts’ two young children. The adoption community is outraged that, for obviously political reasons, the Times has targeted the very private circumstances, motivations, and processes by which the Roberts became parents.
"The adoption histories of four- and five-year old children have no bearing whatsoever on the suitability of Justice Roberts to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court – or in any other position, for that matter."
Developing...
Let's move to find out the paternity of Chelsea. Let's insist on DNA tests, etc. I mean, it goes to Hillary's honesty, right? If the Roberts situation goes further, I'm serious about this.
The true colours of the left come out right here. They would've torn that family apart if it would've earned them a political victory. They would've had those kids taken away from their father if it would've made a good headline to use against conservatives.
Dispicable is a nice way to put it. The words that could actually be used to describe them aren't fit to print.
It's not Chelsea Clinton so it's fair game. /sarcasm off/
(I fully agree with you)
Can you imagine the outcry from the left if someone on the right had tried to pull this same trick. They would get "roved" to death.
Might as well check into kerry's mares, I mean, daughters.
The White House should get on this pre-emptively, so the first things that the average American hears of this scandal comes from us, not the enemy.
Nah, sKerry's daughters are as goofy looking as he is.
Hide and watch. If you think this is disgusting gutter politics, wait until you see what the good liberals "question" next.
I think the Slimes is disappointed that the children weren't aborted instead.
Good point. Probably better to start with kerry. There is animal husbandry going on somewhere in that gene pool.
On the other hand, if the left is sinking this low this early, it means that they are desperate because they don't have anything on Roberts.
His preemptive strike followed by Brits and the blogosphere stopped them in their tracks.
Yeah, she sure has Web Hubbel's lower lip.
With Freedom Of The Press comes enormous responsibility and the NYSlimes has abused and spit on that responsibility. I know, I know, that's not a shock.
