Roberts Disparaged States' Sex-Bias Fight By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent
43 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee John Roberts disparaged state efforts to combat discrimination against women in Reagan-era documents made public Thursday — and wondered whether "encouraging homemakers to become lawyers contributes to the common good."

Roberts, they say, had also called a federal court decision that sought to guarantee women equal pay to men "a radical redistributive concept."

3. Whoa, that's good

I think encouraging a-holes like Roberts to become laywers is downright hilarious.

5. Um...religion?
Certainty is the enemy, and the greater the degree of certainty, the greater the peril.

7. Johnny Bob Junior is one very
dangerous man.....I like the comparison to Taliban very much....

Thanks for the links...I forwarded to people who need to know.

I don't know if I can handle another C. Thomas hearing....to this day, I can't believe he was confirmed. Maybe that day marked the beginning of the end.

It's as if we have to find five witnesses that video recorded the Supreme Court Nominee murdering a two-year old innocent child....and you know damn well that the law would require SIX witnesses....it's so TALIBAN!

That is my new saying....'how Taliban!' America....'how Taliban!'

I gotta laugh or I will cry....
