SCOTUS IONUS ROBERTUS

[erikred]

If you wanted to take the heat off of Rove long enough for people to forget that you said that anyone involved in leaking the name of a CIA operative to the press would be fired, surely you could not have chosen a more controversial method than to nominate to the Supreme Court a practicing Catholic and arch-conservative with outspoken views against the right to abortion and the rights of private citizens to sue the government to prevent the wholesale destruction of mountain-tops in the pursuit of coal.

Short of nuking Iran, of course.

According to The Independent Judiciary (left-leaning, I admit), the brief Roberts and others wrote actually argued that Roe v Wade was wrongly decided. That argument was not a necessary point in the case they were hearing, it was an unnecessary opinion they inserted into the brief. That sounds like someone who is "outspoken" against abortion.

I sure hope that a comment that I write in one of the books for my boss (that reflects the opinions of my boss) doesn't qualify me as outspoken on the merits of python over perl even though his advocacy of python over perl is barely relevant to the topic of the book.

And I sure hope that my multi-clause sentences on LJ are never held up as representative of my tech writing. ;)

If you're ever nominated to a programming judgement board or an LJ grammar standardization board, you know I'll print this out and haunt you with it.
