Sorry- I disagree. I think of Thomas Beckett: he was King Henry's good friend, but when he became archbishop of Canterbury, his role changed, and so did his perspective.

I was once a Union steward (back in my liberal days) but I had to stay within the framework of a Union Contract when I handled grievances. Sometimes what happened to people (like getting fired) was addressable under that contract, sometimes it was not. Sometimes real jerks got their jobs back because the agreement was clearly violateed. Sometimes real sweethearts lost their job because the contract was NOT violated. To me it was very important that the contract prevailed--as it should have--not my own personal feelings.

I think this is exactly how Roberts is going to approach his very important job of upholding the Constitution. His own PERSONAL feelings will not determine how he rules, the CONSTITUTION will!

My FRiend, don't be so naive. Personal feelings enter into all aspects of human life. PERIOD! That shouldn't effect whether Roberts is an originalist or a constitutionist. Think about it.
