Court pick seen as victory for
oppressed white Christian male
By John Breneman
By nominating U.S. Appeals Court Judge John G. Roberts Jr., 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.
......
Roberts' agent was able to negotiate a lifetime contract worth an estimated $200,000 a year for the 50-year-old legal superstar, who also receives an unlimited supply of free robes and imported rosewood gavels.
President Bush has said repeatedly he would apply no "litmus test" in evaluating the candidates as long as they oppose Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision guaranteeing all fetuses the right to own a gun.
Supporters are hailing the choice as an important victory for the oppressed white Christian male. Legal analysts say Roberts should be confirmed by the Senate, but only after intense grilling by Democratic senators regarding his view on the death penalty for satirists.
