News Update

Bloomberg finds news in what Roberts said about a right to privacy.

"John Roberts, the nominee to be U.S. chief justice, told a Senate panel that the Constitution contains a right to privacy, disavowing comments he made as a government lawyer in the 1980s."

And the Associated Press notes that he has dodged a specific answer to Roe at least four times.
