Re: Was John Roberts on Karl Rove\'s payroll?

Ironic, isn't it, that by not allowing Roberts to take a seat on the DC Circuit in 1992, the Democrats gave him 11 years to make money in private practice before he got his judgeship in 2003. He made a lot more in private practice than he would have working for the government.

That's not irony; we would expect a good lawyer to make a lot of money in the private sector. I also don't think the Democrats who voted against him in 1992 thought he would be poor if they managed to block his nomination to the circuit court.
