Then a lawyer specializing in appellate work, the conservative Roberts helped represent the gay activists as part of his law firm's pro bono work.

Pro bono ( prō bō ' nō ) adj. Done without compensation for the public good

Roberts and his firm were a believer in the cause.

Let's stop the idiotic denial and admit this guy quite possibly isn't an originalist and potentially another David Souter or Sandra Day O'Connor.

There is nothing originalist about overturning sodomy laws which the originalists all supported.

This is a non-sequiter. His firm may have believed in the cause - there is nothing to indicate his beliefs on the matter one way or another.

I'm sure you have been spouting the same line even before you knew who the nominee would be, so I won't waste effort trying to convince you otherwise. You'd better get back under the bed, the sky is falling again!

This case had nothing to do with sodomy laws.
