Thursday August 4th 2005. This is show # 154.

PERTINENT QUOTE OF THE SHOW:

[The Los Angeles Times reports] Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. worked behind the scenes for a coalition of gay rights activists and his legal expertise helped them persuade the Supreme Court to issue a landmark 1996 ruling protecting people against discrimination because of their sexual orientation.

:think:

Technically I don't see why even a conservative would favor discriminating against someone because of their sex life.

However, the GOP habit of nominating lukewarm conservatives or straight up liberals is not uncharacteristic.
