Forget about Roe...Judge Roberts thinks states should decide whether violence against women is OK

Here's Judge John G. Roberts, Bush's pasty-white-guy pick for the Supreme Court on the Violence against Women act, in a radio interview from 1999:

"We have gotten to the point these days where we think the only way we can show we're serious about a problem is if we pass a federal law, whether it is the Violence Against Women Act or anything else. The fact of the matter is conditions are different in different states, and state laws can be more relevant."

In other words, this guy thinks that if local mores say it's OK to beat the crap out of your wife, the Federal government has no business getting involved.

Nice fucking guy, this one.

I'm not even going to bother looking into where this guy stands on Roe v. Wade. Roe was toast the day after Election Day 2004. All those college girls who said that they'll never make abortion illegal? Guess again, girlies. We fought this battle for you for 30 years. If you didn't think it was important enough last year to affect your vote, I can no longer help you.
