Bullshit

The NYT:


Judge John G. Roberts Jr., President Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court, has written quite a bit in opposition to a constitutional right to privacy that has served as the basis for Supreme Court decisions protecting abortion and gay rights. But his writings, though distinctive and consistent, were always on behalf of superiors and clients and might not reflect his own views, then or now.


I call bull. As a high powered lawyer Roberts was not forced into taking any of these cases. He could have chosen as he pleased. Similarly, Roberts did not have to accept employment in the Reagan administration, but he did. Saying that we can divorce him from his superiors and clients is a dubious argument.

Admit it NYT, you fell for Roberts like a twittery schoolgirl but now you are wasting time defending yourself since you realized that he is not all he was supposed to be.
