A gay friend who knows Judge Roberts on the next Supreme Court Justice

I asked a gay friend who knows Judge John G. Roberts, President Bush’s pick for the Supreme Court, what he thought of the court’s next justice. He wrote back that he “has extremely positive things to say about his intellect, judicial temperament, fairmindedness, and personality” and believes him “to be a true conservative, so that gay conservatives (or any other kind of conservatives) who want ‘no more Souters’ need not worry.”
