[lbo-talk] Judge Bob Roberts?

[Jim Devine]

>From SLATE's on-line news summary:>The LA [TIMES] fronts word that as
part of his pro bono work, Judge John Roberts helped gay-rights
activists win a landmark Supreme Court ruling restricting
discrimination based on sexual orientation. Only three justices
dissented: Scalia, Thomas, and Rehnquist.


>Roberts was asked to help out on the case by a former colleague, who
recalled Robert's response, " 'Let's do it.' "


>The NYT meanwhile notices that back in his Reagan White House days,
Roberts "opposed new provisions in the Voting Rights Act."<
