Roberts did not say whether he would apply the right to a woman's body for the purposes of abortion.
That was often Roberts first line of defense when Democratic senators pressed him about memos he wrote a quarter century ago as a loyal foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution.

The Boston Herald: "Rule for Roberts: Separate Church and State", by Marie Szaniszlo -- ``…there's an undercurrent in some of the discussions about (Roberts') nomination that shows a misunderstanding of what the role of a justice is: to interpret and apply the Constitution.
We can see from Roberts' previous answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he is not likely to tip his hand on the abortion issue during the nomination process -- there's a lot of practicality going on.
But we have some hints on Roberts personal views based on the memos he wrote as legal counsel in the Reagan White House, and from the fact that his wife was on the board of directors for Feminists for Life from 1995 to 1999 -- at one time serving as executive vice president.

Their argument is that a politician in office can only stand up to majority sentiment — by voting “No,” by supporting a filibuster, or by exercising legitimate legislative rules — so many times.
But now John Roberts has dissented, and now, too late, we can judge the character of this man who has been given a life term on the court as carelessly as a parent gives a toddler a tricycle.
John Roberts feels it is preferable for the government to butt in and impose its leaders’ whims in this matter.

John Roberts looks like Clark Kent just back from a quick Superman foray, saving the country with the X-ray vision of his clear blue eyes.
Roberts keeps coming back to stare decisis, the common-law principle that courts should "stand by things decided"—that is, to accept previous court decisions as precedents that should not be overturned in any but the most exceptional cases.
The most intriguing question about John Roberts is what led him as a young person whose success in life was virtually assured by family wealth and academic achievement to enlist in a political campaign designed to deny opportunities for success to those who lacked his advantages.

Full responsibility for NBC would require denying a self-serving politician the platform to broadcast his lies without refutation, particularly given the fact that Gingrich's "conservative" revolution of the nineties is directly responsible for the current political culture of fear, greed, corruption, and war.
John Seigenthaler Sr, long-time editor of the Nashville Tennessean, had a recent run-in with the new media.
When the politicians are the Bushites, the dance of power and money and propaganda takes on even more importance than usual, since there is no place for the usual questions of policy and morality and the judgments of history.

 The Democratic Dilemma
I realized that the Roberts fight (or lack thereof) would be a kind of Rorschach test for the Dems when I saw two columnists with more or less opposite views spotlight the same question.
So one can only "leak" her name in the sense that one can "leak" the name of the checkout clerk at Home Depot.' It is impossible to tell where the pompous Canadian columnist obtained this information about her status at the agency where she has served her country ever since she left college.
Josh Marshall pounces on the same issue--as well as Pat Roberts, the Senate intelligence chairman--saying that "either this whole debate about her status is rendered moot by the original CIA referral to DOJ, or you must believe that the referral was knowingly fraudulent.

 Canadian Monarchist News: OPINION PAPER
Prince Charles, heir to this nation's constitutional monarchy, once complained to British politician Roy Jenkins that Pierre Trudeau kept his collection of autographed photos of the Royal Family in a desk drawer at home, rather than on view.
This steady erosion of the language and symbolism of the Canadian Crown was married to a sense that Mr Trudeau was also personally rude and far too ready to publicly mock the person of The Queen.
During the intense and complicated process of negotiation, compromise and political hardball required to secure an agreement to patriate and amend the Constitution, it was agreed to make the Canadian Crown one of the political institutions that required the unanimous agreement of all the provinces to amend or dismantle.
