Lest I be accused of being a single issue blogger here is something that has not appeared on the radar of many news outlets:
Dems Say Some Roberts Papers a Problem
There is also the question of the…
Bybee Torture Memo.
Leahy said that even though Roberts had nothing to do with the document, known as the “Bybee memo,” he would like Roberts to discuss the arguments in it and to ask him “in what areas, if any, is the president considered to be above the law.”
Leahy also complained about the continued absence of documents relating to Roberts and affirmative action that went missing from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library after they were reviewed by Bush administration staff members.
An investigation by library officials has failed to find the memo Roberts wrote on the subject, along with supporting material.
Questions need to be asked. Democrats need to play the part of the loyal opposition. John G. Roberts Jr. was not chosen to be on the Supreme Court because he is a nice guy, he just plays one on TV.
