Based on your responses to my posts, you are doing a great imitation of a psycho-stalker. I suspect you are no older than 19. Right?

Back to the topic at hand...

This is what Judge Roberts said during his 2003 confirmation hearing. The accusation (I call it this because of the tone) from Sen. Kennedy was that Roberts was refusing to answer questions on decisions like Brown, Miranda, and Roe. Here's what Roberts said in response:
[ QUOTE ]
It is my understanding that it is not appropriate for nominees to answer questions seeking their personal views on the correctness of binding Supreme Court precedent. If confirmed, the nominee would be bound to follow the precedent, regardless of whether he personally viewed the precedent as correct, and regardless of whether he personally the precedent as "activism" or "strict constructionalism"

Roberts' testimony

I would also like to point out a Federalist Society (of which, Roberts belongs, so take it fwiw) paper which deals with the precedent that Ginsberg's hearing set with regards to SCOTUS nominee hearings.

Note the preface that Senator Biden made with regard to how the hearings should be conducted. Let's hope that this is how Roberts is treated, but my gut tells me it will be worse.

Amen Felix, another left wing looney argument shot down.

So he , and the rest of that court upheld the law.
Roberts then went on to say the conductor and the police overreacted in handcuffing the girl.
The law was changed soon after.
Any problems at all with this ??
Can't see any.

Here is a link to the opinion in case anyone wants to read it for himself.

I read the article and his decision seemed balanced. He ruled on the constitutionality of the law, as he was supposed to. As a matter of fact, for a moment, the article's title (and your post's title) informed me that Roberts was after french fries ! It is all much less scary than that; actually, not scary at all.

This now appears to be incorrect. My apologies.
