His advice to the president as his lawyer is different from his judgement as a judge.
Has nothing to do with truth.
Leahy screwed up his Korematsu question. He asked if a judge would uphold the detention of a person solely based on race. No judge - even in the Korematsu court would do that. You uphold the detention of someone because they pose a national security risk, and they happen to be a member of a race that poses an additional risk.
I understand differences of advice and judgement but truth remains. What I was getting at was I did not like the way Leahy latched on to that comment asking if Roberts was trying to get a message across with a sick little chuckle.
I like Roberts quite a lot. I think he will be a great Chief Justice. I did not like how his comment was interpreted. He's a smart man, I figured he would have put it better. That's all I'm saying. In such a way as not to give Leahy something to get happy about.
