Roberts was a partner in the firm. His job was not in jeopardy if he excused himself from the case on principled moral grounds. That would have been the honorable thing to do – either that, or resign from a law partnership that took such reprehensible clients.

What ever one thinks of Farah, the above is irrefutable. Roberts was a poor choice, and should withdraw his name from consideration.

Are you saying that Roberts' "moral grounds" should have been that he was in favor of discriminating against gays?

You think that someone that resigned from a law firm that represented gays in a legal matter would be a better appointment to the Supreme Court?
