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.

Never mind all that now.

These people NEED something -- anything -- to bash this good man with.

But didn't the lawyer lady in Romer say that Roberts' help was "absolutely essential" to their having won the case? Makes it sounds like it was a BIT more than just volunteering to do an impression of Scalia, who would have accepted Romer when hell froze over.

It looks a lot like Roberts = Rehnquist with a soft spot for gays.

Stop mentioning facts my fellow freeper and interrupt some people Bash Bush orgy. In fact Roberts worked on this "Homosexual case" for less than 6.5 hours according to records, but some freepers want to make him as the most important factor in the plaintiff winning this case.

And how about his much more time he worked on helping pro-life "Operation Rescue" defending it against abortion groups. This fact should not be mentioned either.

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.

What he did in that case was routine for his firm. CSPAN played an '87 speech and Q&A session of Roberts speaking about the SC. He mentioned his firm using mock trials in which someone from the firm would play the role of an SC justice while the attorneys on the case would practice presenting their case.

He also said that SCOTUS is free to disregard or restrict precedent.
