A lawyer should represent his client to the best of his ability whether they represent the liberal or conservative end of the spectrum. Are you suggesting that Mr. Roberts actually went out and solicited Playboy for their business?

No. What I'm saying is I'd like to know more about Roberts' actual work. These two cases, while disturbing for many, were not his own cases. We don't know how much he really did for them since by their nature they were not recorded. Or if they were, no one would be allowed to ever hear the contents.

I'm just curious about what Roberts has actually done as a lawyer, working as chief counsel, what kind of cases, what kind of clients.

There must be some factual basis out there for considering him to be a brilliant conservative jurist. I'd like to know what that is other than he was appointed by Bush. There must be something definingly conservative in his record if he does actually warrant the confidence so many of you are showing in him. If so, then what exactly is it that he's written or said that warrants such conservative enthusiasm?

I agree, with you. Normally, the left would try to rile up their own powerbase against this guy by exposing the NRA (for example) cases he worked on. But the left has discovered that they can do more damage by breaking up the guy's support from the right. So I wouldn't expect to see a fair expose on all his cases. They will hammer on his "liberal" tendencies and get way more mileage than bringing up his "conservative" tendencies. Our responsibility as conservatives, is to not fall for the bait, but focus on the facts.
