Roberts gets slightly testy with Feingold


...in response to questions about the voting rights act memos of the early 1980s:

"Senator, you keep saying 'what I supported' and 'what I wanted to do.' I was not shaping administration policy. The administration policy was shaped by the attorney general on whose act I served. It was to extend the voting rights act without change...it was my job to promote the administration's position and that's what I was doing."
