XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU AUG 04, 2005 11:35:09 ET XXXXX
NY TIMES INVESTIGATES ADOPTION RECORDS OF SUPREME COURT NOMINEE'S CHILDREN
**Exclusive**
The DRUDGE REPORT has uncovered a plot in the NEW YORK TIMES' newsroom to look into the adoption of the children of Supreme Court Nominee John G. Roberts.
The TIMES has investigative reporter Glen Justice hot on the case to investigate adoption records of Judge Roberts’ two young children, Josie age 5 and Jack age 4, a top source reveals.
Judge Roberts and his wife Jane adopted the children when they each were infants.
Both children were adopted from Latin America.
A TIMES insider claims the look into the adoptions are part of the paper's "standard background check."
Roberts’ young son Jack delighted millions of Americans during his father’s Supreme Court nomination announcement ceremony when he wouldn’t stop dancing while the President and his father spoke to a national television audience.
Previously the WASHINGTON POST Style section had published a story criticizing the outfits Josie’s and Jack’s mother had them wear at the announcement ceremony.
One top Washington official with knowledge of the NEW YORK TIMES’ plans declared: “Trying to pry into the lives of the Roberts’ family like this is despicable. Children’s lives should be off limits. The TIMES is putting politics over fundamental decency.”
One top Republican official when told of the situation was incredulous. “This can’t possibly be true?”
Developing...
Ireland or Latin America? Somebody didn't do their homework, be it Time or the rest of the press- hard to mix Ireland up with Latin America.
This article says they're from Ireland. Now I'm confused!
That would explain the blond hair!! LOL
Our adoption papers (we have two girls, each born in China) were recorded in the local County and are, AFAIK, public records. I understand some older adoption records may be sealed, but most, if not all, modern adoptions are public, and local adoption is usually open, meaning the biological mother has certain visitation rights.
On which side?
Maybe there things about that family that needs to be publicized. No. That would be stooping to there ways...
Maybe the NYTrash has him reporting because his name is Justice...
Why don't they quit wasting time and money and just get Jason Blair to make up a bunch of stuff about Roberts? That would be a lot more time efficient and cost effective.
sick........all I can say is this is sick!!!!!!!!!
Just when you think they can't sink any lower, they do. I wouldn't wipe my butt with the NYT.
Me too! (Confused, that is!)
Why?
RE: Damage Control Letter:
Is that a real response that you received? If it is, they're already backpedaling at supersonic speed.
I think it's a Times error. I did a little digging, even sh*t shoveling at the b.s. sites DU and Daily Kos. Most everyone is saying he adopted them from Latin America. Whatever. They're alive and not on the dinner plates of abortionist ghouls.
These ass-rats have crossed so many lines of decency and honor that the only surprise is that there are any left. When they started smacking down on the twins was bad enough, but to go after small children not even belonging to the President... that's low.
Do the media limbo... how low can you go. Media Survivor: Supreme Court!
I'm fairly sure it's not legal. Disclosure in this case only applies to the adoptee.
Brit Hume:
The Times had tried to hire lawyers to open the adoption records.
lol--boys from brazil--times would never

I'm beginning to think that Drudge just makes up these quotes from his unnamed sources. The quotes always seem to match Drudge's sensationalistic, somewhat hokey writing style.
This is disgusting. The libs will stop at nothing.
