Re: Harriet Miers Speaks
They weren't "black market babies" per se. Story goes, Mrs. Roberts' relatives in Ireland knew of two pregnant girls who were planning on getting abortions elsewhere.
Girls have babies, Roberts's adopt both & pays both mothers' "expenses". Catch is, foreign adoptions are illegal in Ireland. So the mamas fly to Costa Rica(?) for the handovers, or maybe the births happened there, too.
Roberts & his wife walked a fine line here, no question. But he and his wife prolly have a combined IQ closer to 400 than 300 and nearly 50 years of combined legal-political experience at the highest levels. No way they didn't dot & cross everything.
The reasons why Dem staffers & liberal reporters dropped this story like it was radioactive should be obvious. Ditto for the promised "investigation" by Euro authorities. Interesting how all the bloggers wouldn't touch it either. Roberts is gonna be running the sheeew for the next 30+ years. I imagine, nice guy that he is, he'd make a terrible enemy. And everybody's got skeletons.
Note how these adoptions took place during the Florida recount debacle, which is likely why he wasn't directly involved. Too bad; woulda made his confirmation hearings much more interesting.
