SCOTUS Watch: Borking John Robert’s Wife Continues

July 22, 2005 /

The Los Angeles Times has this piece this morning, Wife of Nominee Holds Strong Antiabortion Views.

While Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr.’s views on abortion triggered intense debate on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, there is no mistaking where his wife stands: Jane Sullivan Roberts, a lawyer, is ardently against abortion.

A Roman Catholic like her husband, Jane Roberts has been deeply involved in the antiabortion movement. She provides her name, money and professional advice to a small Washington organization — Feminists for Life of America — that offers counseling and educational programs. The group has filed legal briefs before the high court challenging the constitutionality of abortion.

Flap peviously posted this piece, SCOTUS Watch: Judge Roberts’ Wife Ran Pro-life Group.

A spouse’s views normally are not considered relevant in weighing someone’s job suitability. But abortion is likely to figure prominently in the Senate debate over John Roberts’ nomination. And with his position on the issue unclear, abortion rights supporters expressed concern Wednesday that his wife’s views might suggest he also embraced efforts to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

“It’s unclear how all this will affect her husband,” said Jennifer Palmieri, a spokeswoman with the Center for American Progress, a liberal public policy group. “It’s possible that he would have a different view than her. It’s just that in the absence of information about this guy, people are looking at her and trying to read the tea leaves.”

Oh PLEASE.

The LEFT, including the Los Angeles Times wants to vilify Judge Roberts with guilt from association with his wife? Over abortion?

Jane Sullivan Roberts is her own person.

As far as I know SHE was not appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Leave her alone……..
