What Did Roberts Do in Florida?


Did the Nominee Help Obstruct a Recount?

<...>

Now look at these 2 pictures of the GOP mob in Miami—is that John Roberts?




<...>

The image was taken from video shot inside the Miami Dade County building when GOP activists, led by propagandist Jim Wilkinson, later the head of the Coalition Media Center in Doha during the war, and media at the GOP convention in New York, stormed the recount to stop it with a disruptive protest charging "voter fraud. " (They claimed but could not prove, that the Miami election commissioners were stealing votes for Al Gore who most observers believe actually won the election--had all votes been counted!)

<...>

Was John Roberts there? Is this him? Or, Like in the case of Saddam Hussein, did he have a "double?" If not, did he approve of the tactic? Was he ever asked? Did he ever speak out about it or against it? How does he feel about that Supreme Court decision by a Republican majority that stood the 14th amendment, (a measure designed to protect minorities) on its head claiming Republicans were discriminated against and thus with convoluted legal "logic" gave the White House to a fellow Republican? And then said the decision should not be a precedent.

Was his nomination payback for the key work he did in the political trenches in Florida? Part of the reason that we don't know all these details is that the press did not tell us. Was Roberts' name ever mentioned in the acres of "reporting" about that "election?" Not that I saw and I paid alot of attention, compiling a book (with Roland Schatz) about the media coverage of the debacle in 2000 that will be disputed forever. The book is called "Mediaocracy: Hail To the Thief." (Inovatio) It details the role our media played in assuring we didn't know what was happening. It argues that the media undermines our democracy rather then strengthening it. (I recently wrote a Miami Herald reporter to ask about whether Roberts was in Miami that day, but had no response. Typical!)

Blogger Jerry Bowles at Best of the Blogs writes, ....."John G. Roberts Jr. was the 800-pound gorilla at the center of the 2000 Florida recount battle that led to Bush's selection by the Supreme Court. Payback? We insinuate. You decide."
