FYI

CSPAN has 1997 (Roberts presentation), of how the supreme court works:

Thanks for those links. I'm listening to one now. What I'm still confused about is how we're supposed to disregard all the clients he worked for for either pay or pro bono (U.S. government cases as a government lawyer, his testimony during his appointment to appellate court, Playboy, gay groups, or any other client) and yet think we have some substantial reason to consider him a constructionist or conservative jurist.

It seems people want us to throw out everything we might possibly know about him. Except the Luttig/Olson/Levin recommendations.

Well, if so, fine. I just keep thinking there must be some particular case or article or academic paper he wrote to indicate that he is the Scalia-type justice we were promised.

I decided to NOT go to law school because as a lawyer you often end up defending positions that you do not personally believe in! I regret it sometimes! John Roberts is just a man, he represented someone! GET OFF HIS BACK! This is not meant personally to you AliVeritas, just in general to all the pickers of nits!
