And in a 1985 memo about a corporate scholarship program for women, Roberts said, "Some might question whether encouraging homemakers to become lawyers contributes to the common good."

:grr: :grr: :grr:

1. Love the language

"Some might ask". Trying to cover his ass even as he espoused these oppressive viewpoints.

11. I just love how after saying that,

he married a lawyer.

[wicket]

17. LOL!

Good point! :rofl:

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

2. "Oink, oink..."

And they want to put this creep on the high court. Apparently, he's married to June Cleaver LOL.

3. Why is any Democrat being sympathetic toward this idiot

and saying we should support him.

It is the beginning of the end for women's rights as we know them if this guy gets his seat.

Why won't people open their damned eyes?

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

4. Sounds like he and Santorum share the same views on women...

Barefoot and pregnant, yep, that's the natural order. Although, the women (and men) studying the "unscience" of intelligent design certainly won't qualify for any ivy league schooling either.

Disgusting.

5. is his wife a stay at home mom? a career women?--just wonder if his

views may have matured over the past 20 years.

[Eric J in MN]

13. career woman

6. Well...

...if you're using yourself as an example, I'd say it isn't. Now encouraging them to be doctors, well, that's a different story!

[MissWaverly]

7. how many male corporate execs contribute to common good

Well, let's see have we had any problems with corporate culpability

Ken Lay, Enron
Richard Scrushy, Health South
L. Dennis Kozlowski, Tyco
Bernard Ebbers, Worldcom
Martin Grass, Rite Aid

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Mmmm. He's a real forward thinking guy, isn't he?

Forward all the way to about, say, 1500.

[FormerRepublican]

9. Why'd he have to go and use lawyers as the example?

I could think of a lot of careers that would be better than being a lawyer!

Trick question.

[indepat]

10. The real question is "will Roberts sitting on the SC will contribute to

the common good?" Roberts' remarks seem to have already answered that question.

[Eloriel]

12. Please note the date: 1985, not 1955 or even 1965

But our fine elected Dems can't seem to find any really good reasons to oppose him sufficiently.

[wicket]

16. EXACTLY!!!!

The more that comes out about this guy, the more they have to attack and they should launch a full frontal assault on his record.

[Iris]

14. Wait - since when do Republicans give a shit about the common good?

This is sickening.

[bliss_eternal]

15. Excellent point...

(sigh)

[wicket]

18. kick

:kick:

[Swamp Rat]

19. Our Dem reps BETTER stand up to this BS!
