Roberts’ memos reveal more disturbing news
Wow. The fact that Roberts is anti-choice and anti-privacy isn’t news. But today’s Washington Post reveals some pretty shocking stuff. The article details memos that not only further prove Roberts’ commitment to anti-choice nonsense, but also show his straight-up disdain for women’s rights in general:
He called a federal court decision that sought to guarantee women equal pay to men "a radical redistributive concept." He wrote that a Supreme Court case prohibiting silent prayer in public school "seems indefensible."
What? Equal pay for women is radical?! That’s just lovely.

Comparative worth was a nutty theory 20 years ago. Today, it's pretty much discredited across the board. His position could hardly be described as radical.

Comparative worth is nutty? So we must accept the concept of women being semi-human in regards to their ability to contribute to executive decisions? What a load of crap! This whole concept is a huge load of crap. I feel that i am looking up from a huge outhouse of executive stupidity. The central fear of those in power is that they will be exposed. That women will show them how to do it correctly
