Type in John Roberts in the FR search box and the photo is in the comments on The Where is John Roberts posted article.

I was curious so I did that.

Has anybody noticed something interesting in the file name?

I found this a couple days ago:

"During the next two weeks he will be taking part in a summer programme offered by Boston’s New England Law. He will also serve as a faculty member at the University of Malta’s Foundation for International Studies."

Together with Harvard Professor Richard Lazarus, Dr Roberts will be teaching a credit called the US Supreme Court in Historical Perspective."

I searched images for Harvard Richard Lazarus and the same image popped up sourced from NY Times. The caption is

John G. Roberts Jr., President Bush's Supreme Court nominee, and Harvard classmates Don Scherer, center, and Richard Lazarus on Martha's Vineyard in the 1980's.

This sure is an interesting quote:

"Conservatives were like the queers on campus," said Eric Rofes, a classmate of Judge Roberts who later became an organizer on gay issues. "People made fun of them. They mocked them and saw them as jokers or losers. I don't think in the moment many people realized this was the start of an ascending movement. People felt it was like the last cry of the 1950's."

So! It’s what I thought all along. He’s taking a vacation with his boyfriend. Charming.

Interesting follow up, especially since the beneaththerobes blog seemed to poo-poo the notion that any of three were gay, stating they searched out Lazarus and Sheerer and were married. And yet....

Prof. Richard Lazarus is the fellow on the right in the picture below.

Did you notice this?

NY Times 2005 story:

A picture caption on Sunday with a front-page article about the college years of John G. Roberts Jr., the Supreme Court nominee, misspelled the given name of a friend with whom he was shown skiing in the late 1970’s. The friend is Rob Saltzman, not Salzman.

LA Observer, 2008:

Los Angeles police commissioner Robert Saltzman was married on Saturday night to Edward Pierce, who retired as the general counsel and vice president for legal affairs of GeoCities. In addition to serving on the Board of Police Commissioners, Saltzman is associate dean of USC’s Gould School of Law. He was formerly on the city ethics commission, and going way back was senior deputy to county Supervisor Ed Edelman. The New York Times story said that the marriage took place at a home in Beverly Hills.

Annual Malta breaks with the roomie. Ski holiday with a college buddy who is a government certified rump ranger. Hmmm.
