Roberts: No Fundamental Right to be Free From Discrimination

@ 08:05 PM (51 months, 10 days ago)

Members of the Klu Klux Klan will be glad to know that they've apparently got friends in high places. Or at least, that's the logical conclusion one could draw from John Roberts.

The Supreme Court nominee once advised the Reagan administration to remove language from a housing discrimination bill that referred to a "fundamental right to be free from discrimination."  Citing his opposition to that language, Roberts said "there of course is no such right."
