Roberts supported Griswald. Griswald is sort of becoming like Brown v Board of Education. Everybody "loves" it, and if you don't, you are unfit. Harlan (a normally very sensible fellow) in the Poe dissent pointed out that you cannot have a right to liberty as protected in the 14th amendment if you don't have liberty in the sense of decriminalization as to the practice of certain sexual details within a marriage (but not of course outside the marriage, no, no, NO!). You could just feel the rage in his patrician WASP pen as he wrote the words. Birth control being made a crime! I WON'T HAVE IT! THAT'S AN OUTRAGE! [What will those Catholics do next?]

You should read his dissent. It is quite amusing. Bias here, bias there, bias, bias everywhere. It is in the water.

Actually I just read Harlans dissent about a week ago. :-}

As for Roberts he's too smart by half. His view was 'nunanced', as you might say. Not that it makes me feel any better about Roberts mind ya.
