| Judge John Robert's appontment to the Supreme Court is in part payback for his work in the Florida election-fix of 2000. |
|
U.S. Supreme Court nominee John Roberts played a broader behind-the-scenes role for the Republican camp in the aftermath of the 2000 election than previously reported -- as legal consultant, lawsuit editor and prep coach for arguments before the nation's highest court, according to the man who drafted him for the job.
Cruz's [Ted Cruz, a domestic policy advisor for President Bush and who is now Texas' solicitor general] account is the first to place Roberts firmly within the Bush vs. Gore battle, filling in substantial blanks in the memories of everyone from Bush's campaign lawyer, Ben Ginsberg, to the governor. Until now, Gov. Jeb Bush and others involved in the election dispute could recall almost nothing of Roberts' role, except for a half-hour meeting the governor had with Roberts. Cruz said Roberts was in Tallahassee helping the Bush camp for ''a week to 10 days,'' and that his help was important, though Cruz said it is difficult to remember specifics five years after the sleep-depriving frenetic pace of the 2000 recount.

| Ah BlueMax, where to begin with a mental midget like you...First of all, this site is moderated by a man, not a woman. Second, do you even understand the concept being presented here? Are you capable of seeing the pattern of cronism in Bush's appointments? |

| I am utterly baffled by Blue Max's remark that the posts seem feminine. By this does Blue Max mean intelligent and well-worded? Thoughtful? | Linda Denton |
