This is a man whose knowledge of constitutional law goes well beyond his intimate familiarity with seemingly every Supreme Court decision.

Not every decision. When asked about the second amendment, he was aware of the Lopez case, and seemed familiar with it. He was also aware of the Emerson case, the 5th circuit case which said the 2nd protects an individual right.

However, Judge Roberts could not even remember the name of the Silviera vs Lockyer case, in which the 9th circuit said that the 2nd only protects a collective right. He also did not know the status of the case. (For those who also do not know, the case was appealed to the Supreme Court a year or so ago, and they refused to hear the case.)

This is a major conflict between two circuits on an important an politically charged Bill of Rights issue, and he doesn't know much about one of the two main cases. Color me unimpressed. I was also less than impressed with Roberts' apparent agreement with the majority in the Kelo and Raich cases.

Broder is praising Roberts? Need to get worried.
