Claybourn on Roberts
In the Agora: John Roberts: Behind the Curtain
Joshua Claybourn looks at Roberts’ words, as Solitcitor General, about Roe v. Wade, and at the soon-to-be-famous ‘french fry” case:
Perhaps the best way to examine any potential nominee for the Supreme Court is to first look at any possible negatives. How will people attack John Roberts? In general he has received overwhelming praise from Republicans and measured respect from Democrats. But we would be naive to think such calm nerves will carry the day, and we would do well to look behind the curtain and examine how Roberts will be attacked.
There appears to be two chief areas of opposition - his briefs in the Solicitor General’s office and the decisions he penned during his brief stint as an appellate judge.
Oh, yes, he also notes that Ann Coulter isn’t happy.
