A Cuddly Conservative?

I know we're supposed to be freaked out by conservatives - and I know that we don't hardly know much about this guy, Roberts. But the more I read...the more I actually like him (despite his "conservative" views).....


Roberts Helped Group on Gay Rights


Maybe he actually is an astute pick to replace O'Conner, another mainstream conservative with an open and reasoned approach to the law.

If I were going to prepare to argue a case for gay marriage in the high court, this is the guy I'd prepare my arguments for. If we have a constitutional argument in our favor that really holds water...I think that not only would we convince him, he'd have to, out of logical necessity, become a forceful advocate for our cause.
