A question for John Roberts I'd like to hear |
|
"Mr Roberts, if you were interviewing a person who was going to work for you and that person continually gave vague non- answers and excuses for why they should not answer the questions you were asking, Would you hire that person"?

2. "You said that it was the judiciary's job to interpret law, not make law.. |
|
yet in 2000, you petitioned the Supreme Court to do just that - make new law, in the Bush vs Gore case. How do you reconcile these two opposing positions?"

3. Can you give one instance where your ruling went against your |
|
moral beliefs? One time that you had to ignore your personal opinion in favor of what the law was?

4. Good ones, I have a few... |
|
1. Would you hire yourself with the answers you just gave me? 2. Have you ever had an original thought as adult or do you simply think whatever the most recent person/boss told you?

I hope you don't get mad at me, but I copied and pasted your question in an email to Joe Biden Democratic Senator from Delaware who is on the Senate judiciary Committee questioning Judge Roberts for possible conformation as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

7. "Mr. Roberts, why are your eyes so GODDAM FREAKY?" |
|
"And a followup...have you ever read Margaret Atwoods The Handmaid's Tale and if so, did you get a boner when they hung people?"
