Exactly how much time to Roberts spend on this case ?? I thought I heard on the radio it was about 6 hours .. that ain't a awhole of time for a lawyer in a case this big

Yes, I'd like to know the specific number of hours too. But aparently it wasn't a lot. In fact it was less than other cases. I saw this quote:

Also, it was described in one article that Roberts time spent was actually playing the role of Justice Scalia in a mock SC hearing.

Imagine that, Hogan and Hartson's Pro Bono department (H & H being the firm that Roberts worked for), asks Roberts to help out by playing Scalia in a SC hearing. Sounds to me like Roberts is a Scalia-type and the Pro Bono department knows it.

Per Washington Post:
The White House said Roberts worked on the 1996 case for less than 10 hours and that he always agreed when someone at his law firm asked for help on a pro bono case in his area of expertise, appellate and Supreme Court arguments.

Note too, Walter Smith the former law partner of Roberts and the lead on the firm's pro bono work, heads up the DC activist group Appleseed which is in partnership with the People for the American Way, i.e. he's a Lefty and his contributions to the LA Times story were meant to get the Right exorcised over Roberts.

Seems to me Farah needs to either do more homework or be more honest in his disclosures before offering up an opinion.
