the G-man said: I like this statement:
Roberts said, "Somebody asked me, you know, 'Are you going to be on the side of the little guy?' And you obviously want to give an immediate answer. But as you reflect on it, if the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy is going to win in court before me. But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy is going to win, because my obligation is to the Constitution. That's the oath. The oath that a judge takes is not that 'I'll look out for particular interests.' . . . The oath is to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States, and that's what I would do."
what a non-answer.
Loaded questions deserve non-answers. If I were a politician and some hack journalist shoved a mic in my face and asked a loaded question like that, I'd smile and say "Albatross!"
'The little guy' (whoever that guy may be) has enough special interest groups throwing money at Congress that we don't need anyone in the judicial system leaning their way too.
Actually it wasn't a non-answer it was very specific. What he said in answer to the question "will you stick up for the little guy?" was "Only when it's constitutional to do so". It's like the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" To answer either yes or no is an admission of guilt. The only way to properly answer the question is to demonstrate the flaw in the premise which is exacly what he did. Of course I'm wasting my breath because the only answer that some would accept would be "No I won't stand up for the little guy because I am a Satanic Nazi"
you're still beating your wife, aren't you?
Nope. Never have. When are you going to unleash some of these funny jokes you keep talking about?

Yea, I'll pass that information on to her, perhaps she'd like to volenteer and help out some unfortunate women. You should also look up the local shelter for the dead horse you've been beating.

If I can resist the urge to fly down to SF and beat you with MJ's strap on, I can resist any urge.

I do hope you read the entire thread and realise I have never laid a hand on my wife. I only step out of joke mode since you've been away.
