The Freepi have picked up the LAT article about Roberts and Gay Rights

[Goldmund]

The question is, why did he take the case? I'm not going to read to much into it as yet, considering it's from the MSM. But if the facts are true, it does make me think Ann Coulter was on to something about him being a closet liberal.

Why would a conservative do work to advance leftism?

But, you see, it's perfectly fine because "that's what lawyers do--work for their clients".

Stop being so judgmental.

This is bad news. The issue was too important to treat as a purely professional matter. Unless the story is badly wrong, we now have our first piece of genuinely disturbing news about Roberts. When the Rats praise a Republican, there's almost always a reason.

We still have to support the guy, and we can still hope that he'll be with us 90 percent of the time. But even a justice who is 10 percent wrong can do a lot of damage.

It's one thing to be hired to represent a client. It's another to do volunteer work for free. That infers you believe the client's cause is worthy.

Weren't there any conservative organizations that needed free legal representation?

This one, IMO, takes the cake:

The people that know him, back him, and I do not consider Mark Levin as a person who I should question, Mark says Roberts is a solid choice, and all this chatter is nothing but Liberal Pap in my humble opinion

1. Oh my

What dilemma they find themselves facing.

What if he were to make unbiased judgments based on the precedent of the law? The shame, the horror! :rofl:

2. Layers Peeling off the Onion

Tolerance, fair-mindedness and objectivity are "leftist" values? Most certainly, but such values should be shared by all people, regardless of their partisan colour.

I cannot bear to imagine the feelings of paranoia and intense claustrophobia these people must be experiencing as the walls of rational thought finally close in on them.

You bet your ASS they are!

That's the ENTIRE difference between US and the fascists,
in an 8-word nutshell.

4. WOW - so the RW gets intolerance, inequity & bias.

That would sure make me proud to be a conservative.

6. My Dream of a Freeper Hell

If there is a hell, I hope there is a special one for Freepers. Here's my fantasy of what it would be like:

- A Freeper dies and goes to hell. Satan greets him and says; "since you have wasted you life creating hell on earth in that once great country of America, I have a fondness for you. I will allow you to choose how you spend enternity in hell."

Satan takes the Freeper to a room. "This is the False Christian Room", says Satan. The Freeper looks around and sees Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and several Freeps from his local chapter. Each is beaten senseless by Roman Guards, painfully nailed to a cross, and crucified slowly until dead. Three mintes later, they are revived and the process begins all over again.

The Freeper says; "I don't want to spend eternity like that. I'll pass on the 'False Christian Room'".

Satan then takes the Freeper to the "Chickenhawk Room". The Freeper sees Rush, Hannity, O'Reily, Cheney, Bush, and several Freeps from his local chapter. Millions of viscious chickens, with razor sharp beaks and claws chase them around the room, slowly and painfully ripping the flesh from their bones until they die. Then seconds later, their bodies heal and the process begins all over again.

The Freeper say; "I don't want to spend eternity in the Chickenhawk Room."

The Freeper then looks at Satan and says; "Excuse me Dark Lord, but aren't there any Democrats in Hell?"

Satan smiles and answers; "Yes, but in order to see them, we have to go to the 'Sex Room'".

The Freeper enters the "Sex Room" and sees Bill Clinton laying naked on a satin sheet bed. Soft music is playing, and large, scrumptuos plates of food are next to the bed for Clinton to enjoy. A young dark haired lady is performing felatio on the former President.

The Freeper is stunned and asks Satan; "You mean for all eternity, she is on her knees felating the President, and all this food is provided?" Satan nods his head.

The excited Freeper says; "My Lord, I have made my decision. I want to spend all eternity in the 'Sex Room'". Satan asks; "Are you sure"?

The Freeper responds; "I've never been more sure in my life".

"Very well", says Satan, and turning to the couple on the bed says;


"Monica...You're Releived"
