From Drudge (I know--EUWWW) But the Reeps are apparently going BATSHIT over this 'incredible invasion of privacy'.
Privacy! Ha!

NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S CHILDREN

**Exclusive**

The NEW YORK TIMES is looking into the adoption records of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.


Both children were adopted from Latin America.

A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions records are part of the paper's "standard background check."

One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES’ plans declared: “Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts’ family like this is despicable. Children’s lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.”

1. they didn't mind when it was Julie Hyatt Steele, now did they?

[demnan]

2. Big deal

both are from Latin America - wow! that's damaging news. :sarcasm:

[MnFats]

5. suppose he used his influence to speed the process?

suppose others were passed over in the adoption waiting lists?
That, I'd like to know about.
Go, Times.

8. Why do they have bright blonde hair? All of my friends from LaAm have

dark hair. I suppose I could be generalizing, but most Latinos don't have naturally blonde hair.

[elehhhhna]

13. theywere cloned from Natalee Holoway?

[Celeborn Skywalker]

38. They were probably from an upper crust family.

Many of the elite in South America have pure Spanish blood and thus are more likely to have blond hair than the average population in S.A. ( who are mostly mestizo and mulatto).

[Beaverhausen]

40. Don't forget all the nazis who fled to south america during and after WWII

could be decendents of those folks.

[bryant69]

3. Well this also goes to the illusion taht the NY Times

works for the Democratic party. It'd be one thing if Howard Dean directed the DNC to go into this; I'd be a little wiggy about that, in all honesty. But the New York Times is a newspaper - they are supposed to go after the news. How well they do that is a matter of some debate, but in theory they should be non-partisan and only interested in finding out the facts.

4. Those kids sure are caucasian looking latins.

[Prism]

33. Oh hell . . .

I'm still trying to figure out Cristina Aguilera

[annabanana]

6. Roberts doesn't believe in "privacy", right?

I remember reading that "there is no constitutional basis for a right to privacy"

talk about 'cher Karma....HA

[elehhhhna]

10. If he's gonna control MY REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, his should be

checked up on, too.

BTW Freeps are BATSHIT over this. Yay!http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1456856/posts

[FreedomAngel82]

29. Yep!

Now it's turned on him!!!

[eShirl]

7. I thought adopting children was something admirable?

Shouldn't they be proud, not outraged?

[elehhhhna]

11. Yes. Let's hope they hid the receipts, huh?

[elehhhhna]

21. Freeps going batshit crazy posting bleached-blonde latinas in attempt

to prove to their idiotic selves that there are blondes in Latin America!

Go here to laugh at their self-important stupidity, if you can stomach it...

Here's one example--hahahaha!

yeah right she's blonde.

[JDPriestly]

16. Adopting children is admirable.

Sometimes the preferences people express when applying to adopt children tell something about their attitudes about race, religion, disability, etc. It is legitimate to ask questions about a Supreme Court nominee's attitudes toward race, religion, disability, etc. It is unlikely that the nominee is going to admit that he or she prefers a certain race, religion or state of health. An adoption application might reveal certain preferences that call for an explanation. It might at least start an interesting discussion about these issues. The Times is right to investigate the adoption papers.

[FreedomAngel82]

31. Maybe they are hiding something?

If they really did adopt these children according to the law why would they be so outraged? Very interesting.

[orleans]

9. let them investigate it

we're not getting much info about this guy--and i keep wondering if they decided to adopt after he helped out in the 2000 election and talked to jebbie. (wondering if jebbie put the bug in his ear that he'd look better with a couple of kids when he gets nominated for supreme court)

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Chelsea Clinton was a child

when the right trounced on her. Now if that isn't "putting politics over fundamental decency” then what is?

The hypocrisy of these morans never ceases to amaze me.

[KittyWampus]

18. Further, This Isn't About The Kids. It's About How The Parents Went About

adopting them.

[HockeyMom]

24. They did the same with Amy Carter

when she was a kid too.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Oh of course

I remember hearing how when Carter was walking down the parade route at his inaugration that people threw things to Amy. :( She was pretty young then. :( But yet when people go after one of their children it's an outrage! Fuck them all!

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. You are right

Thanks for reminding me.

[Missy M]

14. The children weren't off limits when bush was introducing Roberts...

I believe the children were dragged out to show what an alright, upright guy Roberts is. The "Father Knows Best" family was onstage that day.

[gkhouston]

17. there you are, thinking again

Don't you have some cookies to bake? Babies to birth? :sarcasm:

[Missy M]

25. Yes, I will bake and birth as soon as I get home from work....

because I am trying to put 'food on my family', to quote our imbecilic leader.

[Guckert]

15. The GOP did not investigate McCain's "love child" they love privacy rights

:sarcasm:

[im10ashus]

19. They should investigate.

It could shed light on how the nominee views a number of things. Race and religion among them.

[elehhhhna]

22. Baby-buying, to name another.

[im10ashus]

37. Not THAT would be interesting. n/t

[E-Z-B]

20. So now Republicans support "privacy" again?

Where were they during the renewal of the Patriot Act? Where were they during the Terri Schiavo intervention?

[LSK]

23. but it was ok to smear McCain in 2000??

Why dont they just rename the Republican Party as the Hypocritcal Party.

[Demoiselle]

26. Isn't it possible that....

the adoption records are just part of a whole pile of "papers" released by the candidate that the NYTimes is going over (as they should) and Drudge is just making absurd noise about it?
We haven't seen anything about this in the Times yet, have we?
And anyway, if there's anything corrupt about the adoptions, shouldn't we know? The adorable wee ones were certainly front and center at the annointing.

[Bethany Rockafella]

27. I've been reading some of the messages over at that other

website linked above. It's really funny at how "outraged" they are at the NYTimes. And they keep saying leave the kids out of this. Well I doubt the NYTimes is investigating the kids, freepers. Use your brains. And why oh why do they always insert the Clinton's whenever they disagree with what is going on with any Republican?

[FreedomAngel82]

28. And looking into my life id despicable too!

My life should be off limits but it isn't once Roberts is on the bench so he should be probed too! Hypocrites!

[Connie_Corleone]

30. Are those kids really from Latin America??

They sure are the "blondest" looking Latin American kids I've ever seen. (Without bleach, that is.)

Maybe the biological parents just lived there but weren't born there.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

34. They could have been adopted from Argentina

where there are significant populations of German and English immigrants.

But Argentina isn't a typical source for adoptions. It's usually Guatemala or Colombia or some other poor country.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

41. Plus,

Argentina has very few mestizos like the rest of South America.

[earthboundmisfit]

36. Did any Lebensborn kids end up in South America? Descendants of?

These two are SO "perfectly Aryan" that it brought the Lebensborn children to mind. Wonder if any of them ended up in South America countries - and Roberts kids may be descendants of these...

[blm]

39. GOP ghouls had no problem demanding Heinz's WILL be examined publically.

Focking hypocrites.

[elehhhhna]

42. SOME PEOPLE SAY they're Jenna's High School "problems"
