The Lowdown on John G.



So far, this is what now.org has dug up about the man who will most likely be our newest Supreme Court justice:
  • Former Deputy Solicitor for Kenneth Starr.
  • Associate White House counsel for four years under the Reagan Administration.
  • Overturning Roe was such a primary focus of the Reagan Administration's Justice Department that during an oral argument by the nominee to the Supreme Court a Justice asked, "Mr. Roberts, in this case, are you asking that Roe v. Wade be overruled?" His reply was, "No your honor, the issue doesn't even come up." To this the justice replied, "Well that hasn't prevented the Solicitor General from taking that position in prior cases."*
And so on and so on.... Check it out:
