1. Yes- and he said he didn't feel it fair to discuss it since
it could come up again in the future. Or something like that. He basicaly dodged the question as he did with most questions.

3. Roberts was part of the Bush v. Gore legal team.
IMHO, this is grounds for immediate disqualification. That this man actively participated in stealing the will of the people is beyond despicable.

Here's the pertinent info from the Miami Herald. Sorry to be repetitive with this old thread, but it is still quite useful.

Bottom line is that there comes a time when a person will make a decision between his ideology and the good of his country. With John G. Roberts, Jr., America lost.

4. Two Subjects only marginally questioned: Bush v. Gore, Iran Contra
On Iran Contra: he claim not to have recalled.

Sorry, can't recall -- sound familiar.

6. Roberts helped set up Iran Contra funding organization (NHAO).
Just in case Mr. Roberts needs a memory jolt:


John Roberts helped set up the contra-funding organization Nicaraguan Humanitarian Assistance Office (NHAO).

--snip

***1981-1986: John Roberts (recently nominated to be the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court) worked as a White House lawyer. As part of the current confirmation process, Democratic senators want to see a memo that John Roberts wrote with the heading "re: establishment of NHAO" -- referring to the Nicaraguan Humanitarian Assistance Office. The office was a way the administration could get funds to the contras for nonmilitary purposes, but once there the money was used for all sorts of things, including of course military purposes.

Once again, the folly of not prosecuting, convicting and imprisoning these criminals. Now, they are all back, in a much more virulent form.
