does the right really need ANOTHER advocate?


John G. Roberts, a young lawyer in the Justice Department in 1981 and 1982 and
on the White House counsel's staff from 1982 to 1986, held positions too junior
for him to set policy in those days...............

But his internal
memorandums, some of which have become public in recent days, reveal a
philosophy every bit as conservative as that of the policy makers on the front
lines of the Reagan revolution and give more definition to his image than was
apparent in the first days after President Bush picked him to be an associate
justice of the Supreme Court.
On almost every issue .............

He
favored less government enforcement of civil rights laws rather
than more. He criticized court decisions that required a thick wall
between church and state
. He took the side of prosecutors over criminal
defendants. He maintained that the role of the courts should be limited and the
president's powers enhanced..........

psssssssstttttttttt, hey baby, there IS a separation between church and state.

In 1981, he urged Attorney General William French Smith to reject Mr. Reynolds's
position that the department should intervene on behalf of female prisoners who
were discriminated against in a job-training program. If male and female
prisoners had to be treated equally,
Mr. Roberts argued, "the end
result in this time of state prison budgets may be no programs for
anyone." read the whole
article here, it's too depressing for me to go on any further


well why SHOULD women be treated equally? we're only good for birthin' babies and the like.
