John Roberts, Reaganaut

Seems the squeaky-clean Bush nominee has more unpalatable views up his sleeve.

Roberts endorsed a speech attacking "four decades of misguided" Supreme Court decisions on the role of religion in public life, urged the president to hold off saying AIDS could not be transmitted through casual contact until more research was done, and argued that promotions and firings in the workplace should be based entirely on merit, not affirmative action programs.

I'm not sure if I'm itching for this fight, but views like this make it seem like a better idea than it did a week ago.

... DC Media Girl has more.
