What an example of the Left’s masturbatory glee in playing gotcha politics even if it’s a quarter century old. You got jack and it’s not even worth the minute it took to read and respond. I DEMAND A REFUND OF MY TIME

Good observation. A journalist’s job is to report and record and that’s what this is all about. Readers can make whatever they want out of it. For me it tells what we knew all along – that prejudice exists at all levels and particularly in the upper echelons of power. It’s the same as my English and Irish colleagues hating the grunting and squealing of Maria Sharapova (and before her, Monica Seles) and wanting it banned, but loved it when John McEnroe did it. When English speaking tennis players are bratty and obnoxious in court they are labelled mercurial but when Djokovic of Serbia does it he is called all sorts of names by senior western journalists.

But I guess that is human nature. We are all prejudiced…to a lesser or greater degree.

John Roberts’ title is Chief Justice of the United States, not of the Supreme Court.

In reply to “Bobb”

Bobb, If you believe “the USA sucks”, then you should certainly include yourself as one of the reasons why. Everyone (including you) is entitled to voice their opinions … whether its seriously critical, critically serious … or anecdotal. John Roberts shouldn’t be a Supreme Court Justice because, as the example cites, his bias permeates his being. I think this is a great article, and it raises interesting points that not many people would even consider.

Okay Bobb, you can fart now … stop your sniveling, nobody’s sniffing. And good luck with defending justice Roberts.

@Bobb: This is why the USA sucks.

Then leave. (Just kidding)

Hardly any articles are “necessary” but this one does indeed give some insight into the legal thinking of a man who is going to affect all of our lives for decades to come. It’s a legitimate observation and a somewhat revealing one, at that.

I agree with Bobb.
