Saturday, August 20, 2005 Roberts: No Right to be Free From Discrimination If the article in the NY Times yesterday(Roberts said: "Some might question whether encouraging homemakers to become lawyers contributes to the common good.") did not seal the deal for me on Roberts then this completely has. (Yahoo): As a lawyer in the Reagan WH, John Roberts scoffed at the notion of elevating Supreme Crt Justice O'Connor to chief justice as a way to close a political gender gap, calling it a "crass political consideration." On another topic, Roberts, advised the WH to strike language from a description of a housing bill that referred to the "fundamental right to be free from discrimination." He said that "there of course is no such right." WTF??? No right to be free from discrimination? Oh, silly me... I have to get busy and back to the business at hand that puts a big smile on Roberts and his ilk's faces: Being pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen. |
