Quick Hits on privacy
LiberalOasis explores Roberts “so-called ‘right to privacy’” remark and explains what it really means. Check out a snippet:
Roberts comments on the right to privacy and Roe clearly show he casts his lot with...[t]he crew that doesn’t believe in individual privacy rights.
The crew that believes people don’t have a right to use birth control, to make their own medical decisions, to have sex with who they want to, and to start a family when they want to.
The crew that believes upholding such fundamental rights of personal freedom is “judicial activism,” but when Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas block Congress from dealing with public safety issues like domestic violence and gun control, it’s somehow “judicial restraint.”
The Bushies are going to try to keep Roberts a blank slate, spin what’s released of The Roberts Files, hide the rest, and keep the public from knowing what he will do on the Court.
But the picture is becoming clearer.
Also check out Pandagon on privacy and how it’s not just a women’s (or a choice) issue, but a class issue as well.
