	GENEALOGY - LoveToKnow Article on GENEALOGY
		The Biblical genealogies commence with the generations of the heaven and earth, and by a process of elimination pass from Adam and Eve by successive steps to Jacob and to his sons (the tribes), and finally to the subdivisions of each tribe (cp.
		That in Matthew is characteristically arranged in three series of fourteen generations each through the kings of Judah, whilst Lukes passes through an almost unknown son of David; in spite of this, however, both converge in the person of Zerubbabel.
		Yet even in these it is obvious that, owing to the frequency of resort to the well-recognized practice of adoption, while there was every guarantee for the historical identity of the family, there was none (documents apart) for the personal genealogy of the individual.

	CNN.com - FindLaw Forum: It's risky to politicize the solicitor general - May 28, 2001
		The solicitor general strictly limits the appeals he files, and should the justices suspect that appeals are being filed for political reasons, the breach of trust will hurt both the government and the court.

		In addition, the solicitor general decides whether and when the government will support or oppose petitions for certiorari or will file an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief with the high court.

	Work on Rights Might Illuminate Roberts's Views
		The solicitor general is often known as "the 10th justice" because the office so frequently argues before the Supreme Court, representing government agencies and intervening in cases in which the federal government has an interest.

		the solicitor general is expected to come forward with both the strengths and weaknesses of the case, to inform the Court of things it might not otherwise know, and to be honest in all his dealings with the Court.
		Even long before the contentious fight over Olson's nomination as solicitor general, many Democratic senators were exercised over what they considered to be a heavy-handed attempt by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Orrin Hatch to further restrict their role in the selection of federal judicial nominees.

		This is why it was essential for the solicitor general, in denying new forms of racism, not to be insensitive to race.
