I haven't yet seen anyone point out -- though someone must have! -- that Roberts grounded the Constitutional right to privacy in the first, fourth, and one other amendment. The "right" that was cited for Rowe was based on an eisegesis of the fourteenth amendment. Roberts did not cite that amendment. I find that significant.

You could be right. Nonetheless, Roberts' continued deference to precedent is troubling. At this stage, his loss is very unlikely, and he has probably allied some liberal fears with his statements (not to mention eating their lunch when questioned directly). The White House disappoints me at times, but I am hopeful the next nominee will be a true conservative. If it is Gonzales, it will bitterly disappointing for many of us who thought the opportunity to change the court would be for the better...
