Color Ann Coulter right again – this time, on John Roberts.
Those of you who, like me, are fans of the conservative columnist, will remember that she wasn’t all that fond of the Bush pick to replace Sandy Ditzy O’Bint.
It means nothing that Roberts wrote briefs arguing for the repeal of Roe v. Wade when he worked for Republican administrations. He was arguing on behalf of his client, the United States of America. Roberts has specifically disassociated himself from those cases, dropping a footnote to a 1994 law review article that said:
“In the interest of full disclosure, the author would like to point out that as deputy solicitor general for a portion of the 1992-93 term, he was involved in many of the cases discussed below. In the interest of even fuller disclosure, he would also like to point out that his views as a commentator on those cases do not necessarily reflect his views as an advocate for his former client, the United States.”
This would have been the legal equivalent, after O.J.’s acquittal, of Johnnie Cochran saying, “Hey, I never said the guy was innocent. I was just doing my job.”
Well, Denizens, it’s looking like she was bang-on right about this guy.  Roberts is now saying, in effect, that Roe v. Wade  need not worry.
“Precedent plays an important role in promoting the stability of the legal system,” Roberts wrote. “A sound judicial philosophy should reflect recognition of the fact that the judge operates within a system of rules developed over the years by other judges equally striving to live up to the judicial oath.”
At the same time, Roberts said that “judges must be constantly aware that their role, while important, is limited.”
“They do not have a commission to solve society’s problems, as they see them, but simply to decide cases before them according to the rule of law,” he wrote.
So I guess we can go back to the days of Plessy v. Ferguson,  John-o?  The Dred Scott decision?  Any other bad law you want to revisit on us, Souter-lite?
My apologies, Ann.  After you came out against Roberts, I rather doubted you for a moment.  I figured that, with so many liberal fuckheads screaming about this nomination, Waffleya had finally gotten one right.
Should’ve known better.  This is yet one more wimp-assed nomination by a president who apparently is afraid to nominate a real  conservative to the bench, thus telling the minority  Party of Asses™ what they could go do with themselves.
Get ready for more of the same bullshit from the Not-so-supreme Court, guys.  And maybe OneOfTheseDays™ we’ll learn not to trust anyone named Bush…
UPDATE:  And it just keeps getting worse & worse.  Looks like this guy Roberts supports the heterophobic movement, as well.
Supreme Court nominee John Roberts donated his time to work behind the scenes for gay rights activists – and helped win a decision that’s been hailed as the “single most important positive ruling” for the gay rights movement.
[…]
He did not argue the case before the Supreme Court, but he was instrumental in reviewing filings and preparing oral arguments, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
“Roberts’ work on behalf of gay rights activists, whose cause is anathema to many conservatives, appears to illustrate his allegiance to the credo of the legal profession: to zealously represent the interests of the client, whoever it might be,” the newspaper reports.
In other words, this guy stands for nothing, and falls for anything.  It’s not what’s right  that counts for John Roberts – it’s what’s supposedly legal.
The case before the Supreme Court, Romer vs. Evans, dealt with a voter-approved 1992 Colorado initiative that would have allowed employers and landlords to exclude gays from jobs and housing.
A 6-3 ruling striking down the initiative was handed down in May 1996.
Jean Dubofsky, lead lawyer for the gay rights activists, said Roberts’ work in the case was “absolutely crucial.”
And Suzanne B. Goldberg, a lawyer with Lambda, a legal services group for gays and lesbians, called the Supreme Court ruling the “single most important positive ruling in the history of the gay rights movement.”
That’s enough for me.  This bozo needs to be rejected posthaste.  I don’t want another tin-plated tyrant on the bench that is sympathetic to baby butchers and limp-wrists.  We’ve already got Souter; why do we need Roberts?
F.E.T.E., as the Imperial Torturer™ might say…

Oh darn, what did Dr Peppers say? Was it irrelevant to your post? I usually find him very insightful.
