Chief Justice Roberts Didn’t Get the Memo
I’m starting to like this guy:
“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race”
Looks like we have one of those simplistic Northern European hayseed types on the Court- he apparently doesn’t understand that some races are simply more equal than others.

The Libocrats are getting bolder, though. From your AP link above:
“Biden noted that he voted against confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote the majority opinion. He said he was tough on Roberts. ‘The problem is the rest of us were not tough enough,’ he said, seeming to take a jab at fellow Democrats. ‘They have turned the court upside down.’
“All the Democratic candidates in the Senate opposed the confirmation of conservative Justice Samuel Alito, another of President Bush’s nominees. Clinton, Biden and Obama voted against Roberts; Sen. Chris Dodd voted for his nomination.”
Is it just me, or does that fairly scream that they are admitting to voting politics rather than confirming the candidates’ competency?
