Judging Roberts
When asked his position on Roe v. Wade — the landmark 1973
decision guaranteeing all fetuses the right to own a gun —
Judge John Roberts declined to comment on whether he would
confirm or deny his position or non-position on any hypothetical
issue that may or may not come before the Supreme Court.
Today’s Senate confirmation hearings present a fresh chance
to absorb the satiric wisdom of this July 29 Humor Gazette
exclusive:
"Judge Roberts faces abortion litmus test"
Also this July 20 item suggesting that in selecting a white
Christian male nominee, President
Bush "disappointed those who hoped he would add diversity
to the Supreme Court by picking the nation’s first openly
gay Mexican-Chinese transvestite albino jurist."
