Witch hunting on the brain
Does this sick phenomenon called "outing" know no bounds? I mean, it's bad enough to go after a politician for "hypocrisy" when his personal life runs afoul of his stated political views. But to go after a family member? This was the kneejerk reaction of certain Daily Kos regulars, who wasted no time in calling for an investigation to determine whether John Roberts' son is gay. This is now being dismissed as absurd because, of course, the son happens to be four years old. But can such a thing be called a simple mistake? I don't think so. The fact that such an allegation was raised against a kid only four years old shows a degree of obsessive paranoia beyond belief. To call it homophobic McCarthyism would be understatement. posted by Eric on 07.20.05 at 11:33 AM

Here's Randy Barnett on Roberts: But what sort of Justice will Judge Roberts make? I have no idea.BTW, I wouldn't ask Glenn Reynolds to link anyone. As I think I said before, I don't think anyone can be said to "deserve" the attention of an artist, as it spoils the magic and the spontaneity.

I have had it with Kos and that crowd. They obviously hate homosexuals. At least Rev. Fred Phelps does so honestly. And I never heard of even him trying to "out" a 4-year-old boy. Despicable.
I don't know anythng about this John Roberts really. I'm glad to know he's Catholic, as is the Queen of All Evil. He'll probably subject to a smear campaign on that basis alone.
I'm against any smear, but I'm all for an intense grilling as to his views (not just on abortion!!) to see to it that he will adhere to the Constitution. Unfortunately, the Democrats don't know what the Constitution is. They think all it means is "the New Deal plus abortion".
I suggested Randy Barnett, but my friend the blogger and commenter known as Wince and Nod pointed out that it would be cruel and unusual punishment for him to be interrogated by the likes of Ted Kennedy instead of the other way around.
On the other hand, Chappaquiddick Ted was way too good for Robert Bork (Randy Barnett's polar opposite spectrumologically), who deserved Glenn Reynolds instead.
Glenn Reynolds wrote an excellent fisking of Bork once. But if he doesn't give an Instalanche to the Queen of All Evil, then -- uh, oh! off with his head! We must get him to do so.
