Re: Washington Post as Cheerleader for Democrats
Nati0onal Review ^ | 01/12 | Ed Whelan

Posted on 01/12/2006 9:30:34 AM PST by george76

The Post article asserts at one point that Alito's answers on Roe and stare decisis "departed notably from those that [John Roberts] gave when asked similar questions during his confirmation hearing four months ago."

But three paragraphs later, it contradicts itself, noting that Roberts was "reluctant" to address the issue and relying instead on his statements from his D.C. Circuit confirmation hearing in 2003.

In sum, Roberts's and Alito's answers on Roe and stare decisis are substantively identical.

Ahem, here now the greatest acorn that appropriately describes "The Washington Post, " to wit:

If a Post reporter saw Christ walk on the water today, the headline tomorrow would read: " Christ Can't Swim!"
