NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S CHILDREN

**Exclusive**

The DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a plot in the NEW YORK TIMES' newsroom to look into the adoption of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts.

The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.

Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.

Both children were adopted from Latin America.

A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions are part of the paper's "standard background check."

Roberts’ young son Jack delighted millions of Americans during his father’s Supreme Court nomination announcement ceremony when he wouldn’t stop dancing while the President and his father spoke to a national television audience.

Previously the WASHINGTON POST Style section had published a story criticizing the outfits Josie’s and Jack’s mother had them wear at the announcement ceremony.

One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES’ plans declared: “Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts’ family like this is despicable. Children’s lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.”

One top Republican official when told of the situation was incredulous. “This can’t possibly be true?”

and exactly what is the nytimes trying to find? this is total crap.

There are often "fees" associated with adopting infants from foreign countries.

Possible Headline - Roberts "buys" babies for $15,000 each - Declines to adopt older Africian-American children

Or some such similar nonsense.

The kids were dressed perfectly, unlike the womans field hockey team, whose members mostly wore flip-flops to meet the President. I guess some fashinista thought the kids would look better in hip huggers and middies.

Blond hair is not unusual in the upper crust of Latin America. Frida Khalo's father was German. Look at any spanish language station and you'll see. It's an obsession.

Aren't adoption records normally sealed? What would the NY Slimes be able to get that is public?

Sleazy. Just plain sleazy.

Good, what the NYT has done has been learned early enough in the day for it to be part of the evening news and on all the Sunday shows. Never thinking NYT could go lower, yep they did.

I think the angle they're looking at is whether Roberts pulled any strings to make the adoption happen, or got any kind of prefential treatment due to his status as a judge. It really is disgusting.

Everyone who adopts is paying basically. I'm willing to bet that liberals are the ones going land over sea for a tow-headed aryan beauty and for lots more cash.

Lots of Germans immigrated to Argentina, Chile, and southern Brazil. Some towns down there look like quaint Bavarian villages.

I think the angle on the pro-bono stuff is a bit different than is being portrayed here.

For any story like that, the operative question should be 'who benefits from it'?

It is a bit ridiculous to think that a story like that would have the impact of derailing Roberts' support within the GOP.

OTOH, there have been a number of stories which would serve to make him more 'palatable' to the Dims. This one falls into that category. Gives them hope that he's not a hardcore conservative.

Nevertheless, it is a sideshow. He will sail through the confirmation process. 70+ yeas.

"I do hope the White House and Senate GOP absolutely blast the Ol' Gray Lady if this appalling story is true."

I would also like to see some presstitutes ask some 'Rats if they agree with the investigation....
