F R I D A Y , A U G U S T 1 9 , 2 0 0 5John Roberts' Americaby Michael in New York on 8/19/2005 11:41:00 PMWhat do we know about Supreme Court nominee JohnRoberts? Based on the records we do have, his vision ofAmerica is this:ID cards for all citizens at all timesVoting rights -- you're on your own; good luckWomen's rights -- what discrimination? (Roberts should talkto Justice O'Connor and learn her dramatic life story beforeblithely dismissing the idea that women suffer discrimination.)10 Commandments -- his version gets posted all over theplace; what's the big deal?School prayer -- of course.</p><p> As long as you pray to his god andin his way. (Buddhists and atheists and agnostics and peoplewho think parents should be teaching their kids how to pray --not the gym coach -- can take a hike.)Find other examples of how Roberts wants to shape thiscountry from his public record and we'll add it here.</p><p> Add New CommentYou are commenting as a Guest.</p><p> You may select one to log into: Logged in as Logout from DISQUSLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> Use Media ▼ Ben SmithRemainders: Sit-down - Obama gambles on biggovernment, Brownstein writes.</p><p> The final act ofBush and Cheney.</p><p> An Iranian journalist waits for14 minutes ago Daily KosCNN President Tells Lou Dobbs To SYFP - Okay, I'mparaphrasing ... *CNN* President Jon Klein did nottell Lou Dobbs to "SYFP," but he did send an emailto: ...
