Question:

Roberts supposed "support" for this radical homosexual group - was he in support of the group, or the law involved in the case?

The way I look at it - if Roberts was upholding the letter of the law, he should be commended, even if this was a group a conservative would otherwise not want to be associated with. It would just prove that he is blind to agendas, and is more concerned with the proper execution of law - not exercizing an agenda through the bench.

Does every criminal attorney actually support their client's activities, or are they doing their job by giving them the best defense they can - as required by law?

Is there any evidence that Roberts actually SUPPORTS the CAUSE of these activists? If so, I haven't heard of it.

#27..and that's exactly what we're trying to determine.

Yes, I know the abortion folk are working overtime discrediting him, and conservatives who are for 'life' are suppose to be encouraged by this.

I'm one of those 'life' conservatives, but I still want to ask questions, and get answers about this man.

I truly want Roe v Wade overturned....

..I also want the sanctity of marriage between a man & woman protected.

In addition, it seems to be forgotten that he didn't decide the case. Other judges made the decision, Roberts presented a case. The deciding judges should be the ones catching the flak, but no one even discusses their roles.

What Roberts and the lead attorneys and plaintiffs did in this case was NOT follow the law. They overthrew existing law and knock down what the people of Colorado put into their Constitution, namely, a provision which outlawed homosexuals from getting special rights. This case was as activist as they come.

"Is there any evidence that Roberts actually SUPPORTS the CAUSE of these activists? If so, I haven't heard of it."

The evidence would be that he worked for free, gave his substantial expertise for free. During the hours he worked for free, he could have been working for a paying client, working for free for a good cause, or at home with his family. Each of those would have been preferable to volunteering for the homosexual cause.
