The Busy Man

@ 08:11 PM (36 months, 26 days ago)

Looks like John Roberts was one busy man in July.  That was the month, of course, when George Bush nominated Roberts to the Supreme Court.  Turns out that also during that time, Roberts was serving as a member of a 3 judge panel deciding on a lawsuit brought against the Bush administration.

While John Roberts was making trips to the White House to be interviewed for a possible nomination to the Supreme Court, the 3 judge panel on which he served ruled in favor of the Bush administration, refusing to block military tribunals for terror suspects.

Say it with me: quid pro quo.
