He's right, and I understand his position. It's a separation of powers question. Federal courts shouldn't tell Congress what laws to pass, either.
Roberts did not make those statements, according to several witnesses. The NYT article that broke this story made it sound like a private meeting, with no witnesses to refute the allegation.
Here is the response from the White House.

Both John Roberts and the evil genius Karl Rove have last names that begin with "Ro". The same pronunciation can be used for the Greek letter "Rho", which of course is the second part of the "Chi-Rho" symbol, universally recognized as a symbol of Christianity.
It is perfectly clear then, even to the most casual observer, that John Roberts is no more than another part of Karl Rove's master plan to impose Christianity on the entire world. Someone should warn NARAL.
That makes the rest of the story not worth reading, because we know that's not the case. A) she never starved to death B) Micheal left the decicion to the court. C) Jeb Bush overstepped his authority and made a fool of himself in the process.
My comment is that the Democrat Senator lied about the content of his discussion re: Terri, as did Durbin in his conversation with Roberts, as every Democrat Senator is doing in an exposed attempt to paint a portrait of a man that the right will split in support making defeat simplistic for them.
The Democratic Senator from Oregon is a liar.
I as well, separately, dismiss the derotaory statements against those that stood for Terri, including critisism leveled at Jeb Bush.
bump!
Yes, obeying the letter of the law is more important than a human life..../sarcasm/
I'll take this with a LARGE grain of salt considering the source.
They lied about what Roberts said.
I thought Roberts was smart. For anyone up for a Supreme Court seat to utter a word about the Schiavo situation would require an IQ of under 20.
